Shop door repairs in Durham
After a forced entry in Durham or elsewhere in County Durham, a door can look fine but still have a bent frame or a damaged lock pocket.

Rear and fire exit doors at Durham premises matter as much as the front entrance, and repairs anywhere in County Durham should keep any fire rating intact. Send a short video of your Durham door opening and closing, because seeing it move often tells us more than a still photo can.
Work in Durham is run from Birmingham, roughly 155 miles away, with teams booked for the whole job so it is finished in one visit wherever possible. Jobs in DH1 are planned alongside Spennymoor and Chester-le-Street.
Which faults do we deal with in Durham?
What does it cost in Durham?
Repairing a shop door costs £125 to £595 ex VAT per door, with glass, locks and floor springs priced on their own if they also need work. Photos and a short video of the door moving often let us price it remotely. If they do not, a charged diagnostic visit, from £125 ex VAT, finds the cause, and we give you that cost first.
If the fault cannot be diagnosed remotely, a charged diagnostic visit to your Durham premises finds the cause, and we tell you the price of that visit first. We protect the pavement and your stock, keep the opening secure at the end of every shift, and leave the Durham site clean.
Common questions
Do you cover Durham?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works in Durham and across County Durham, including DH1. Call 0800 088 6341 or send the form with your postcode and we will confirm the details.
Can a shop door be repaired after a break-in?
Often yes, if the leaf and frame are still straight. Bent aluminium sections and torn lock pockets may need replacing. We can provide photos and an itemised invoice for your insurer, although whether a claim is paid is always their decision.
Why does my shop door keep sticking?
A sticking door usually has worn hinges or pivots, a tired floor spring or a frame that has moved. Seals and thresholds can also catch. Planing or forcing the door rarely cures it, so we find the cause first and repair that.
What do I do if my shop in Durham is broken into?
Call the police first if a crime is in progress, then call our 24/7 line on 0800 088 6341. We will tell you the arrival time when you call, and board up or reglaze so the premises are secure.
