Floor spring repairs in Cornwall

Where the make cannot be identified, a charged diagnostic visit to your premises in Cornwall or the South West confirms it, and we tell you the cost first.

Replacing a floor spring means lifting the door off, so shops in Cornwall and across the South West can arrange the work outside trading hours. Landlords looking after glass entrances in Cornwall or anywhere in the South West can add floor springs to a planned maintenance visit, rather than waiting for a failure.

What do we fix in Cornwall?

Flooded or dirty boxWater and grit in the cement box shorten the life of the spring. We clear it and check that the box is still sound.
Door will not centreA double-action door should stop at the closed position. Drift usually comes from a worn spring, a loose spindle or a box out of line.
Hold-open not holdingMany floor springs can hold a door open at a set angle. When that stops working, the mechanism is usually worn.

How much does it cost in Cornwall?

Budget £295 to £695 ex VAT per floor spring. A failed floor spring at your Cornwall premises often affects the top pivot and patch fittings too, so we check those parts before pricing the new unit. The price we confirm in writing includes travel and access.

Which towns do you cover?

Common questions

Do you cover all of Cornwall?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Cornwall, including Bodmin, Falmouth, Newquay, Penzance.

Can a leaking floor spring be repaired?

Usually not. A leaking floor spring is normally replaced, because the hydraulic unit is sealed and its seals are not a routine site repair. The cement box can often stay. If the box is corroded or the make is no longer available, we explain the options.

What happens if I leave a faulty floor spring?

The door becomes harder to control and can slam or swing into people. A failed spring also strains the top pivot, the patch fittings and the glass. Toughened doors need care, because damage at an edge can cause the whole panel to break.

Do floor springs suit fire doors?

Some do, but only models tested for the purpose and fitted as part of a tested door set. Fire doors need a closing device of at least power size EN 3 under BS EN 1154. Never swap the closer on a fire door without checking its certification.
