A slamming or jammed aluminium door disrupts trade in Dover. Our local engineers specialize in the geometry and hardware of Commercial Aluminium Doors. With expert knowledge of Axim, Dorma, and Alpro systems, we ensure a first-time fix.
Fitting Adams Rite hook locks and armoured strike plates.
Replacement of concealed closers (Axim/Dorma) to stop slamming.
Re-aligning dropped doors by replacing worn top and bottom pivot bearings.
Installing ergonomic paddle handles and DDA compliant hardware.
Damaged glass reflects poorly on your business. We provide emergency replacement for Anti-Finger Trap Stiles in aluminium frames. Unlike uPVC, aluminium requires specialized de-glazing tools. We also replace worn Hook Lock Deadbolts to stop draughts and reduce energy bills for your premises in Dover.
Security is paramount. We upgrade standard locks to high-security Axim/Dorma Floor Springs. Misalignment often prevents the bolt from throwing correctly. We adjust the door leaf and frame alignment to ensure your Wool Pile Weather Stripping engages smoothly. We also install armoured strike plates to prevent forced entry attempts.
Heavy aluminium doors must be safe for everyone. Under the Equality Act 2010 (DDA), doors must not require excessive force to open. We test and adjust your Adams Rite Locks to ensure opening forces are below 30N, ensuring accessibility for disabled users and the elderly.
My door is slamming shut. Can you fix it?
Yes, this usually indicates a failed transom closer or floor spring. We can replace the unit and adjust the closing speed.
Is the glass safety rated?
Yes, all our replacements use laminated or toughened safety glass to BS EN 12600 standards.
Do you repair shop front doors?
Absolutely. We specialize in commercial aluminium shop fronts, including pivot doors and sliding entrances.
Can you replace just the lock?
Yes, we stock Adams Rite hook locks and latch locks commonly used on aluminium doors.
