Aluminium & Glass Door Repair Experts in Amersham

Urgent Response for Amersham Businesses

A jammed door in a high-traffic retail environment can mean lost revenue. Our Amersham emergency team prioritises commercial call-outs, carrying extensive stock of universal closers, locks, and hinges to effect a first-time fix. We handle smashed glass shopfronts and failed automatic doors with the urgency your business requires.

Specialist Aluminium Shopfront Services

Our Amersham 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 Amersham's high streets and offices.

Door Closer Technical Services (Dorma, Axim, Geze)

The door closer is the engine of your manual door. In Amersham, we frequently encounter leaking or slamming closers that pose a danger to the public. We specialise in:

• Transom Closers (Concealed Overhead): We replace failed Axim and Dorma units hidden within the frame header, a difficult job requiring specialist lifting gear.
• Floor Springs: Common in glass doors, these units can seize due to water ingress. We excavate and replace floor boxes and mechanisms.
• Surface Mounted Closers: We install heavy-duty rack-and-pinion closers for fire doors and rear exits.

Commercial Glass & Glazing

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

• 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 Amersham, 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 Amersham, 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 Amersham 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.
• Mechanical Digital Locks: Code locks for staff-only areas.
• Panic Hardware: Push bars and touch bars for fire escape routes, ensuring easy egress in an emergency.

Frequently Asked Questions in Amersham

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 Amersham, 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 Amersham?
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 Amersham. 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.
