Door closer repairs Northumberland

An oil stain on a door or floor in your Northumberland premises usually means a failed closer, so a replacement is more likely than an adjustment. A slamming door at your Northumberland 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 Northumberland?

Door will not latchThe cause is often the latch speed or a tight keep, so we check them together.

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

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 Northumberland?

The guide price is £145 to £345 ex VAT per closer. Where a closer cannot be priced from photos, a charged diagnostic visit to your Northumberland shop comes first, and we confirm the cost before booking. The price we confirm in writing includes travel and access.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Northumberland?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Northumberland, including Alnwick, Ashington, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Blyth.

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.

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.

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.
