Door closer repairs in Shropshire

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

Technician adjusting an overhead door closer

Fire door closers on premises in Shropshire or across the West Midlands must suit the door, so we check the power size and any evidence before fitting a replacement. Where a closer cannot be priced from photos, a charged diagnostic visit to your Shropshire shop comes first, and we confirm the cost before booking.

What do we fix in Shropshire?

Bent or loose armArms bend when doors are blown open or forced past their stop. We fit a new arm and check the fixings.
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.

How much does it cost in Shropshire?

Expect £145 to £345 ex VAT per closer. Landlords with several doors in Shropshire and elsewhere in the West Midlands can have the closers checked together rather than arranging separate visits for each one. We set out every cost in writing before work starts.

Which towns do you cover?

Common questions

Do you cover all of Shropshire?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Shropshire, including Bridgnorth, Oswestry, Shrewsbury, Telford.

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.

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.
