Door closer repairs in Norfolk
A slamming door at your Norfolk 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 Norfolk premises usually means a failed closer, so a replacement is more likely than an adjustment. If customers in Norfolk or anywhere in the East of England 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 Norfolk?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Norfolk, including Dereham, Great Yarmouth, King's Lynn, Norwich.
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 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.
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.
