Shop door repairs Dorchester

After a forced entry in Dorchester or elsewhere in Dorset, a door can look fine but still have a bent frame or a damaged lock pocket. Door repairs can be arranged before opening or after closing, so a Dorchester shop or any other premises in Dorset can keep customers coming through.

We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 128 miles away, and send fitting teams across the South West. Travel is included in your written quote, not added afterwards. Our Dorchester work takes in DT1. Neighbouring Weymouth and Yeovil are covered too.

Which faults do we deal with in Dorchester?

Worn seals and thresholdsPerished brushes, gaskets and threshold plates let in rain, grit and cold air, and they are simple to renew.

Rear and fire exit doorsSteel, timber and composite doors at the back of the shop get the same checks, and any fire rating is kept in place.

Dropped or sagging doorWorn hinges, pivots or floor springs let the door sink. We reset the door or replace the worn part so that it clears the floor again.

What does it cost in Dorchester?

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.

Send a short video of your Dorchester door opening and closing, because seeing it move often tells us more than a still photo can. Tell us your opening hours when you book and we will plan the Dorchester job around them, with overnight or weekend fitting where the work allows.

Common questions

Do you work in DT1?

Yes. Dorchester and the DT1 postcodes are covered, as is the rest of Dorset. Send your postcode with your enquiry and we will come back to you with the next step.

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 Dorchester 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.
