If The shop's back door only latches if someone slams it.
Then Adjust the closer and realign the strike.
Usually the closer is out of adjustment or the strike has drifted; both are set, not replaced.
Locks for shops, offices and buildings: rekeying at turnover, commercial-grade hardware, exit devices, master key systems and access control.
Commercial
A commercial key plan should survive the person who set it up. We leave a written schedule of which key opens which door and who holds what, so a new manager inherits a system rather than a mystery.

Which fix fits?
Tap a situation. The answer opens here.
If The fire exit alarm sounds every time staff use that door.
Then Service the exit device and rethink the routine.
Exit alarms are meant to sound; if staff need that door daily, an arrangement that still lets everyone leave freely is found.
If The storefront lock is worn and the key barely catches.
Then Replace the cylinder with a commercial-grade one.
Storefront cylinders take a beating; a heavier grade is built for that traffic.
