Door closer repairs in East Sussex
If customers in East Sussex or anywhere in the South East struggle to push your door open, the closer may be too powerful, and resetting it can make the entrance easier to use.
A slamming door at your East Sussex shop is usually a closer that needs adjusting or replacing, and one photo of the unit is a good start. An oil stain on a door or floor in your East Sussex premises usually means a failed closer, so a replacement is more likely than an adjustment.

Common questions
Do you cover all of East Sussex?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across East Sussex, including Brighton, Eastbourne, Hastings, Lewes.
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.
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.
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.
