Floor spring repairs in West Sussex

Replacing a floor spring means lifting the door off, so shops in West Sussex and across the South 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 West Sussex shop a diagnostic visit. Landlords looking after glass entrances in West Sussex or anywhere in the South East can add floor springs to a planned maintenance visit, rather than waiting for a failure.

Common questions

Do you cover all of West Sussex?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across West Sussex, including Bognor Regis, Chichester, Crawley, Haywards Heath.

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.

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.
