Aluminium & Glass Door Repair Experts in Camden High Street

Urgent Response for Camden High Street Businesses

A jammed door in a high-traffic retail environment can mean lost revenue. Our Camden High Street 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.

Aluminium Door Diagnostics & Repair

Aluminium doors are the standard for commercial shopfronts in Camden High Street due to their durability, but they are prone to specific wear-and-tear issues. Common faults we rectify include:

• Dropped / Misaligned Doors: Often caused by worn pivot sets or loose frame fixings, leading to the door scraping the floor or failing to lock.
• Worn Wool Pile & Weather Stripping: Essential for insulation; we replace these to improve energy efficiency.
• Frame Fatigue: In high-traffic Camden High Street locations, aluminium joints can crack. We offer on-site welding and reinforcement.

Door Closer Technical Services (Dorma, Axim, Geze)

The door closer is the engine of your manual door. In Camden High Street, 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.

Emergency Glazing in Camden High Street

Whether due to vandalism or accident, shattered glass leaves your property exposed. We offer emergency boarding services in Camden High Street followed by rapid re-glazing. All our glass installations comply with BS 6206 / BS EN 12600 impact safety standards.

Automatic Door Repair & Maintenance

Automatic sliding and swing doors are complex electro-mechanical systems. In Camden High Street, 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 Camden High Street, 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.

Frequently Asked Questions in Camden High Street

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 Camden High Street, 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 Camden High Street?
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 Camden High Street. 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.
