Door closer repairs County Durham

A slamming door at your County Durham shop is usually a closer that needs adjusting or replacing, and one photo of the unit is a good start. If customers in County Durham or anywhere in the North East struggle to push your door open, the closer may be too powerful, and resetting it can make the entrance easier to use.

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 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.

Can I take the closer off a fire door?

No, not if the door is meant to be self-closing. The closer is part of the door's fire protection, and removing it can leave a route unprotected. In England and Wales, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires it to be maintained.

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.
