Floor spring repairs Leicestershire

A failed floor spring at your Leicestershire premises often affects the top pivot and patch fittings too, so we check those parts before pricing the new unit. Replacing a floor spring means lifting the door off, so shops in Leicestershire and across the East Midlands can arrange the work outside trading hours.

What do we fix in Leicestershire?

Hold-open not holdingMany floor springs can hold a door open at a set angle. When that stops working, the mechanism is usually worn.

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.

How much does it cost in Leicestershire?

The guide price is £295 to £695 ex VAT per floor spring. If a glass door at your Leicestershire premises has stopped closing properly, check for oil around the floor plate and send us a photo of it. Your written quote shows travel, access and any out-of-hours work.

Which towns do you cover?

Common questions

Do you cover all of Leicestershire?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Leicestershire, including Coalville, Hinckley, Leicester, Loughborough.

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.

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.

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.
