Door closer repairs Tyne and Wear

A slamming door at your Tyne and Wear shop is usually a closer that needs adjusting or replacing, and one photo of the unit is a good start. Landlords with several doors in Tyne and Wear and elsewhere in the North East can have the closers checked together rather than arranging separate visits for each one.

What do we fix in Tyne and Wear?

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.

Fire door closersA fire door needs a closer of at least power size EN 3 that is suitable for that door, with evidence to match.

How much does it cost in Tyne and Wear?

Budget £145 to £345 ex VAT per closer. Where a closer cannot be priced from photos, a charged diagnostic visit to your Tyne and Wear shop comes first, and we confirm the cost before booking. Your written quote shows travel, access and any out-of-hours work.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Tyne and Wear?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Tyne and Wear, including Gateshead, Hebburn, Jarrow, Newcastle upon Tyne.

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 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.
