Aluminium & Glass Door Repair Experts in Aldgate

24/7 Emergency Door Repairs in Aldgate

Security breaches don't adhere to business hours. That is why we offer a dedicated emergency response service for Aldgate. If you have suffered a break-in, accidental glass breakage, or a lock failure that leaves your premises vulnerable, our emergency glaziers and locksmiths can be on-site within the hour to board up, secure, and repair your entrance.

Specialist Aluminium Shopfront Services

Our Aldgate technicians are experts in the geometry of aluminium doors. We don't just force a door shut; we realign the entire leaf, adjust the transom closer tension, and ensure the lock bolt engages perfectly. We service both narrow stile and wide stile aluminium doors commonly found in Aldgate's high streets and offices.

Hydraulic Door Control Solutions

A slamming door is a liability lawsuit waiting to happen. Our engineers in Aldgate carry out precise hydraulic adjustments to latching speed and closing force (BS EN 1154 compliance). If a unit has lost pressure (oil leakage), we replace it immediately with a compatible unit from Axim, Alpro, or Ryobi to ensure safe, controlled closing.

Commercial Glass & Glazing

Broken glass demands immediate attention. We provide a full glazing service for Aldgate:

• Laminated Safety Glass: For shopfronts, ensuring that if it breaks, it holds together to prevent injury and maintain security.
• Toughened Glass: For frameless glass doors (Armourplate), requiring precise measurement and factory ordering.
• Double Glazed Units: We replace misted or cracked units in aluminium frames to restore thermal performance.

Automatic Door Repair & Maintenance

Automatic sliding and swing doors are complex electro-mechanical systems. In Aldgate, we troubleshoot:

• Sensor Faults: Radar and infrared safety beams that fail to detect pedestrians or cause 'ghosting' (false openings).
• Motor & Gearbox Failure: Grinding noises or jerky movement often indicate drive belt wear or motor burnout.
• Control Board Logic: We reprogram settings for hold-open times, opening speeds, and lock integration.

We work with Record, Geze, Besam, and Dorma automatic operators.

Residential Bifold & Patio Door Repairs

For homeowners in Aldgate, a sticking patio door or a bifold door that won't lock is a major frustration. We are experts in:

• Bi-fold Door Alignment: Re-toeing and heeling the glass to lift the sash, and adjusting the bogie wheels for smooth rolling.
• Sliding Patio Tracks: Replacing damaged stainless steel tracks and worn nylon rollers.
• uPVC Door Locks: Upgrading to anti-snap, anti-bump Euro cylinders for enhanced home security.

High-Security Locks & Access Control

We supply and fit a vast range of locking mechanisms for Aldgate properties:

• Hook Locks & Deadbolts: For aluminium narrow stile doors (Adams Rite style).
• Maglocks & Electric Strikes: For intercom-controlled entry systems in blocks of flats and offices.

Frequently Asked Questions in Aldgate

Q: My shop door slams shut dangerously fast. Can you fix it?
A: Yes, this is usually a sign of a failed hydraulic damper in the transom closer or floor spring. In Aldgate, we can often adjust the valve to regulate speed, but if oil has leaked, we will replace the unit with a new Dorma or Axim closer to ensure safety.

Q: Do you repair automatic sliding doors for shops in Aldgate?
A: Absolutely. We repair motor gearboxes, drive belts, and carriage wheels. We also test and replace safety beams and microwave radar sensors to ensure your door meets BS EN 16005 standards.

Q: My aluminium door scrapes the floor. What is the cause?
A: This is 'door drop', common in Aldgate. It can be caused by the glass slipping (needing 'toeing and heeling') or a worn bottom pivot. We can realign the door to ensure smooth clearance and proper locking.

Q: Can you replace the glass in my commercial door the same day?
A: For standard laminated safety glass, we often can. For toughened glass (which requires furnace processing), we will secure your property with boarding or a laminated pane immediately and return to fit the custom unit.
