Door closer repairs in Berkshire
A slamming door at your Berkshire shop is usually a closer that needs adjusting or replacing, and one photo of the unit is a good start.
Landlords with several doors in Berkshire and elsewhere in the South East can have the closers checked together rather than arranging separate visits for each one. Fire door closers on premises in Berkshire or across the South East must suit the door, so we check the power size and any evidence before fitting a replacement.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Berkshire?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Berkshire, including Bracknell, Maidenhead, Newbury, Reading.
Why is my shop door so hard to open?
The closer is probably too powerful or badly set. Approved Document M and BS 8300 give guidance of no more than 30 N at the start of opening and 22.5 N from 30 to 60 degrees. Under the Equality Act 2010, service providers must make reasonable adjustments.
What size door closer do I need?
The size depends on the door's width and weight under BS EN 1154. EN 3 suits doors up to 950 mm and 60 kg, and fire doors need EN 3 or above. Exposed doors in windy spots may need more power, which we check on site.
Can a door closer be adjusted rather than replaced?
Yes, if it is not leaking. Most closers have valves that set the closing and latching speed, and many have adjustable power. If the unit is leaking oil, or adjustment makes no difference, it needs replacing.
