A storefront door that will not latch reliably needs an assessment of the opening, not a guessed lock replacement. Record whether the door reaches the frame, rebounds or needs extra pressure. The visible latch is only one part of that sequence.
Observe ordinary closing
Describe what happens during normal use, including whether the problem occurs on one leaf of a paired entrance. Mention visible obstructions, rubbing and recent work. Do not change closer settings, remove hardware or force the door to simulate the fault.
An entrance can involve a closer, hinges, frame, strike and locking hardware. Explain which stage fails: closing, latching, locking or opening afterward. If the entrance cannot be secured or safe exit is affected, tell the responsible operator promptly and arrange professional assessment.
Request a defined repair scope
Ask the estimate to identify the affected components and the findings supporting the work. Clarify whether adjustment and replacement are separate options, and which parts of the opening remain outside scope.
At handover, ask for normal closing and latching to be demonstrated. Record any continuing concern rather than compensating with a wedge or an extra closing action staff must remember.
