Box, Cargo Body and Reefer Repair

Swing and Barn Door Repair

Swing door service covers hinges, latches, hold-backs, seals, and the door structure itself on barn-style cargo doors. Alignment is the core of the work, because a door that has dropped will not seal regardless of how new the gasket is.

Symptoms

Signs you need this work

  • Door sagging or dragging
  • Latch not engaging cleanly
  • Water entry at the door seal
  • Hold-back broken so the door swings loose

Alignment first

A dropped door is a hinge problem, a frame problem, or both. Replacing the seal on a door that does not sit square just puts a new gasket in the same gap it could never close.

We correct the hinge and frame geometry first, then address the seal. That order is why the repair holds.

  • Hinge replacement and pin service
  • Door frame straightening
  • Latch, cam and keeper adjustment
  • Hold-back and door retainer replacement
  • Perimeter seal replacement after alignment

FAQ

Swing and Barn Door Repair questions

Why does my door leak with a new seal?
Because the door is not sitting square against the frame. The seal only works under even compression and cannot bridge an uneven gap.
Can a bent door frame be straightened?
Usually yes. Frame damage from a dock strike is common and is generally repairable rather than requiring replacement.
Do you repair reefer doors specifically?
Yes, and on those the seal integrity matters even more because it is a thermal boundary as well as a weather one.
