We align glass doors across Bengaluru. A glass door does not bend or warp, but the fittings holding it move a little every year. The door starts rubbing the floor on one side. A wedge of light opens at the top. The door stops closing on its own, or will not stay closed. People are often told they need a new door. Nearly always, they need the old door set square on the fittings it already has. That is one visit, at ₹2,300, including up to two hours of setting work.
The signs a door is out of alignment
The gap along the closing edge is wide at the top and tight at the bottom, or the other way round. A healthy door shows an even gap all the way down.
The door scrapes the floor through part of its swing, but not all of it. That is a tilt, not a dropped floor.
The door closes, then springs back open a finger's width. The latch or the closing line no longer meets square.
On a shower door, water starts escaping at one corner. The seal has not failed. It is being held away from the glass it should touch.
All four signs have the same root: the door is no longer hanging square. Setting it back is exact work, but it is quick.
Why glass doors go out of square
Every swing of the door works on its fixings. On a hinged door, the screws behind the hinges ease a fraction over thousands of swings. On a floor spring door, the pivot wears and lets the door settle. On a wall-hung shower door, the plugs in the tile can shift a hair.
None of this is bad fitting. It is what use does. A busy office door swings hundreds of times a day, and a millimetre of movement at the hinge becomes a centimetre at the far edge of the door.
The important part: caught early, it is an adjustment. Left for a year, the door grinds its corner on the floor, and a ground corner is where toughened glass cracks. Alignment is the cheap visit that prevents the expensive one.
What we actually do on an alignment visit
We read the door first. The gaps, the swing, where it touches and where it should. That tells us which fitting has moved.
Then we set the door in the fittings. Glass fittings hold the door in slotted clamps, and there is real adjustment range inside them. We loosen, shift, and re-tighten in small steps, checking the closing edge after each one, until the gap runs even and the door closes home without a push.
If a pivot, hinge or closer has actually worn out, adjustment alone will not hold. We say so, show you the worn part, and price it separately. Most alignment visits end with no parts at all.
The visit price, and when parts get added
The visit is ₹2,300, covering travel and up to two hours of work. One door rarely takes that long, so if you have two or three doors misbehaving, they usually all fit inside the same visit and the same price.
Parts are only added when something has genuinely worn out: a floor spring that has lost its oil, a hinge with a worn pin, a top pivot gone oval. Each is a fixed price, supplied and fitted, and each has its own page on this site.
What you do not pay for is a new door. In years of alignment visits, the glass itself has almost never been the problem.
