Floor spring repairs Northern Ireland

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

What do we fix in Northern Ireland?

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

Leaking hydraulic oilOil under the cover plate usually means the sealed unit has failed. It normally needs replacing rather than topping up.

Door slams or creepsClosing and latching speeds are set with valves. If adjustment no longer holds, the spring is wearing out.

How much does it cost in Northern Ireland?

The guide price is £295 to £695 ex VAT per floor spring. A failed floor spring at your Northern Ireland premises often affects the top pivot and patch fittings too, so we check those parts before pricing the new unit. Your written quote shows travel, access and any out-of-hours work.

Which towns do you cover?

Common questions

Do you cover all of Northern Ireland?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Northern Ireland, including Antrim, Armagh, Ballymena, Bangor, County Down. Remote areas are by arrangement.

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.

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.
