Door closer repairs in Devon
Landlords with several doors in Devon and elsewhere in the South West can have the closers checked together rather than arranging separate visits for each one.
A slamming door at your Devon shop is usually a closer that needs adjusting or replacing, and one photo of the unit is a good start. Fire door closers on premises in Devon or across the South West must suit the door, so we check the power size and any evidence before fitting a replacement.
What do we fix in Devon?
How much does it cost in Devon?
Expect £145 to £345 ex VAT per closer. If customers in Devon or anywhere in the South West struggle to push your door open, the closer may be too powerful, and resetting it can make the entrance easier to use. We set out every cost in writing before work starts.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Devon?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Devon, including Barnstaple, Exeter, Exmouth, Newton Abbot.
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.
