Glass entrance doors in County Durham
Busy entrances need strong gear, and we match the patch fittings, spring and handles to the weight and daily use of your County Durham door.
A glass door is only as secure as what backs it up, so a shutter or grille is worth pricing too for a County Durham entrance in the North East. Cutting a pocket for a floor spring depends on what is under the floor, so we check your County Durham premises before quoting.

Common questions
Do you cover all of County Durham?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across County Durham, including Bishop Auckland, Chester-le-Street, Consett, Darlington.
How do you lock a glass door?
A glass door is usually locked with a patch lock near the floor or a lock in the bottom rail, using a cylinder and key. For stronger protection, we add a shutter or internal grille, because the toughened glass is the weakest point of the door.
What thickness of glass is used for a shop door?
Most frameless shop doors use 10 mm or 12 mm toughened glass. The choice depends on door size, the fittings and how the door will be used. Laminated toughened glass can be specified where there is a higher risk of attack or accidental breakage.
Do glass doors need a floor spring?
No, but most frameless glass doors use one, because there is no frame to carry a closer. The spring sits hidden in the floor and controls how the door swings and closes. A rail door can use an overhead closer to BS EN 1154 instead.
