Door closer repairs Essex

Landlords with several doors in Essex and elsewhere in the East of England can have the closers checked together rather than arranging separate visits for each one. A slamming door at your Essex shop is usually a closer that needs adjusting or replacing, and one photo of the unit is a good start.

What do we fix in Essex?

Slamming doorClosing speed and latch speed are set with valves. We adjust them, and replace the unit if the valves no longer hold.

Leaking closerOil on the door or floor means the hydraulic seal has gone, and the closer needs replacing.

Door too heavy to openToo much spring power makes an entrance hard to use. Setting the right size brings the opening force down.

How much does it cost in Essex?

Budget £145 to £345 ex VAT per closer. Fire door closers on premises in Essex or across the East of England must suit the door, so we check the power size and any evidence before fitting a replacement. The price we confirm in writing includes travel and access.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Essex?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Essex, including Basildon, Billericay, Braintree, Brentwood.

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.
