Door closer repairs in Herefordshire
If customers in Herefordshire or anywhere in the West Midlands struggle to push your door open, the closer may be too powerful, and resetting it can make the entrance easier to use.
Landlords with several doors in Herefordshire and elsewhere in the West Midlands can have the closers checked together rather than arranging separate visits for each one. An oil stain on a door or floor in your Herefordshire premises usually means a failed closer, so a replacement is more likely than an adjustment.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Herefordshire?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Herefordshire, including Hereford, Leominster, Ross-on-Wye.
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.
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.
