Door closer repairs in Merseyside
Fire door closers on premises in Merseyside or across the North West must suit the door, so we check the power size and any evidence before fitting a replacement.
Landlords with several doors in Merseyside and elsewhere in the North West can have the closers checked together rather than arranging separate visits for each one. If customers in Merseyside or anywhere in the North West 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 Merseyside?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Merseyside, including Bebington, Birkenhead, Bootle, Huyton.
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.
