Glass entrance doors in Essex
Cutting a pocket for a floor spring depends on what is under the floor, so we check your Essex premises before quoting.
Door changes across the East of England can be booked out of hours, which keeps your Essex entrance in use during trading time where the job allows. Busy entrances need strong gear, and we match the patch fittings, spring and handles to the weight and daily use of your Essex door.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Essex?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Essex, including Basildon, Billericay, Braintree, Brentwood.
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.
How do I make a glass door accessible?
Start with clear width, a low threshold and a light opening force. In England, Approved Document M gives a clear width of 775 mm for existing buildings, and a force of 30 N at the door edge for the first 30 degrees. Visible markings and contrasting handles also help.
