Shop door repairs in Gainsborough
If your Gainsborough shop door catches the floor or only locks when pushed, the cause is usually a worn pivot, hinge or closer, rather than a failed door.

After a forced entry in Gainsborough or elsewhere in Lincolnshire, a door can look fine but still have a bent frame or a damaged lock pocket. Send a short video of your Gainsborough door opening and closing, because seeing it move often tells us more than a still photo can.
Gainsborough is around 75 miles from our Birmingham base. Teams travel, so the distance is planned into the job and shown on your quote. Our Gainsborough work takes in DN9, DN10, DN21. Neighbouring Retford and Scunthorpe are covered too.
Which faults do we deal with in Gainsborough?
What does it cost in Gainsborough?
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.
Door repairs can be arranged before opening or after closing, so a Gainsborough shop or any other premises in Lincolnshire can keep customers coming through. If you can't close, we phase the work: one bay at a time, with the unit left secure and weathertight every night.
Common questions
Can you come out to Gainsborough for a survey?
Yes. New shopfronts and full refurbishments get a free survey in Gainsborough. Repairs are a charged visit, and we tell you the cost of the visit before anyone comes out.
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.
Will a repair make my door wheelchair accessible?
Not on its own, although a lighter closer and a lower threshold can help. Approved Document M gives a 775 mm clear width for existing buildings in England. The Equality Act 2010 expects reasonable adjustments, so a wider change may be worth discussing.
What do I do if my shop in Gainsborough 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.
