Floor spring repairs in Northumberland

Replacing a floor spring means lifting the door off, so shops in Northumberland and across the North East can arrange the work outside trading hours.

A photo of the cover plate and door often identifies a floor spring fault, which can save your Northumberland shop a diagnostic visit. Where the make cannot be identified, a charged diagnostic visit to your premises in Northumberland or the North East confirms it, and we tell you the cost first.

What do we fix in Northumberland?

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 Northumberland?

Expect £295 to £695 ex VAT per floor spring. Landlords looking after glass entrances in Northumberland or anywhere in the North East can add floor springs to a planned maintenance visit, rather than waiting for a failure. We set out every cost in writing before work starts.

Which towns do you cover?

Common questions

Do you cover all of Northumberland?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Northumberland, including Alnwick, Ashington, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Blyth.

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.

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.
