Automatic door repairs Dorset

If the automatic door at your Dorset premises is closing on people, switch it off and keep it out of use until it has been checked. After any repair to a door in Dorset or elsewhere in the South West, we test the sensors and safety functions before handing it back to you.

What do we fix in Dorset?

Break-out and emergency functionsDoors on escape routes are checked for their emergency opening function as part of the repair.

Sensor faultsActivation and safety sensors drift, get knocked or fail. We realign or replace them, then test the detection zones.

How much does it cost in Dorset?

Which towns do you cover?

Common questions

Do you cover all of Dorset?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Dorset, including Bournemouth, Christchurch, Dorchester, Poole.

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.

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.

Do automatic doors have to be serviced by law?

No single fixed legal interval applies, but the law expects them to be kept safe. In Great Britain, the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 require such equipment to be maintained in working order. Maker's instructions and BS EN 16005 guide what gets checked.
