Floor spring repairs Dorset

Replacing a floor spring means lifting the door off, so shops in Dorset and across the South West can arrange the work outside trading hours. Landlords looking after glass entrances in Dorset 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 Dorset?

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.

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.

Worn top pivot or patchTop pivots, bottom straps and patch fittings wear alongside the spring, so we check them while the door is off.

How much does it cost in Dorset?

The guide price is £295 to £695 ex VAT per floor spring. A failed floor spring at your Dorset premises often affects the top pivot and patch fittings too, so we check those parts before pricing the new unit. We set out every cost in writing before work starts.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Dorset?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Dorset, including Bournemouth, Christchurch, Dorchester, Poole.

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.

Will a new floor spring fit my existing box?

Often yes, if the box and spindle match the replacement. Many makes share similar sizes, but not all do, so we check the dimensions first. Where they differ, an adapter or a new box may be needed, and a new box means opening up the floor.
