For retailers and offices in Highbury, a functional aluminium door is essential. Our local engineers specialize in the geometry and hardware of Commercial Aluminium Doors. We don't just fix the fault; we re-align the door for long-term smooth operation.
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.
Emergency replacement of laminated and toughened safety glass.
The most common failure in Highbury is the closing mechanism. We specialize in replacing Aluminium Pivot Hinge Sets. If your door slams or scrapes the floor, the Laminated Safety Glass (6.4mm) has likely failed. We replace these units with genuine Axim or Dorma parts, adjusting the latching speed to ensure a gentle, secure close every time.
Security is paramount. We upgrade standard locks to high-security Armoured Strike Plates. Misalignment often prevents the bolt from throwing correctly. We adjust the door leaf and frame alignment to ensure your Paddle Handles & Push Pads 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 Hook Lock Deadbolts to ensure opening forces are below 30N, ensuring accessibility for disabled users and the elderly.
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.
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.
