Aluminium shop door repairs

Dropped, dragging and misaligned commercial doors put right.

Shop door repair covers the faults that stop a commercial entrance door opening, closing and locking properly — worn pivots and hinges, a door that has dropped and drags on the floor, loose handles, failed seals and damaged glazing beads. Most aluminium shop doors can be repaired rather than replaced.

What does aluminium shop door repairs cover?

  • Doors dropping or catching on the threshold
  • Worn or broken top and bottom pivots
  • Butt hinges pulled from the frame
  • Loose, broken or missing pull handles and push plates
  • Worn brush seals, weatherstrips and drop seals

How do I know I need it?

  • The door scrapes the floor or frame
  • A gap has opened at the top or lock side
  • The door swings too fast or does not stay closed
  • Draughts or rain are getting in round the door

How is the repair carried out?

We find out why the door has moved before fitting parts, because a dropped door is often a symptom of a failed pivot or closer rather than the cause. Common pivots, handles and seals are carried on the van; less common profiles are identified and ordered.

Questions about aluminium shop door repairs

Why has my shop door dropped?

Usually the top or bottom pivot has worn, the floor spring has failed, or the hinge fixings have pulled loose from the frame. Fixing the underlying part is what stops it happening again.

Can you repair a door without knowing the make?

Yes. We identify the aluminium system and hardware on site, and most common parts can be matched even when the original manufacturer is unknown.

Is it cheaper to repair or replace a shop door?

Repair is almost always cheaper when the frame and leaf are sound. Replacement makes sense when the leaf is badly bent, corroded or the system is obsolete and parts cannot be found.
