Repair It. Don’t Replace It.

Most tired shopfronts and entrance doors don’t need ripping out. New closers, locks, gaskets or a glass unit, plus a proper adjustment, will keep them working for years at a fraction of the cost of a new screen.

Why Shopfront Doors Fail

A busy shop door can open and close a thousand times a day. Closers lose their tension, floor springs leak oil, pivots wear, locks get forced and gaskets shrink and fall out. None of that means the frame or glass has had it. Usually the aluminium is sound and the problem is the hardware and adjustment that keeps it working.

Left alone, small faults get expensive. A door that slams breaks its glass. A door that drops scrapes the floor and strains the lock until it won’t secure at night. Catching it early with a service visit costs far less than the emergency call-out later.

Honest Advice

If a door or screen genuinely needs replacing, because the frame is corroded, the system is obsolete or you want a different layout, we’ll tell you, and we can price the replacement too. But we won’t recommend a new shopfront when a closer and a set of gaskets will do the job.

Priced Per Visit or Per Site

Repairs are priced on survey, and planned maintenance on a fixed price per door or per site. Send photos and a rough door count and we’ll tell you what’s involved.
