Common questions

Do you cover all of County Durham?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across County Durham, including Bishop Auckland, Chester-le-Street, Consett, Darlington.

Can you repair any make of automatic door?

Many faults can be repaired across common makes, because sensors, belts and rollers are widely available. Some controllers and drives are specific to one maker, and older ones may be discontinued. We check parts first and tell you if the operator needs replacing.

What if my automatic door was damaged in a break-in?

Call the 24/7 emergency line if the entrance cannot be secured, and we'll tell you the arrival time when you call. Damaged glass, track or operators are then priced as a repair. We can provide photos and an itemised invoice, but only your insurer can decide on a claim.

Can I use my automatic door by hand while it is broken?

Usually yes, if the door has a manual or off setting, but follow the maker's instructions. Some doors push open by hand when switched off, while others stay locked. Check you still have a usable escape route before trading with it out of action.
