Aluminium & Glass Door Repair Experts in Mid Sussex

24/7 Emergency Door Repairs in Mid Sussex

Security breaches don't adhere to business hours. That is why we offer a dedicated emergency response service for Mid Sussex. 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 Mid Sussex 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 Mid Sussex's high streets and offices.

Hydraulic Door Control Solutions

A slamming door is a liability lawsuit waiting to happen. Our engineers in Mid Sussex 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 Mid Sussex:

• 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.

BS EN 16005 Safety Compliance

All automatic doors in Mid Sussex must adhere to strict safety regulations. We conduct safety audits, checking closing forces (max 150N) and ensuring safety sensors cover all crush zones. If your door is non-compliant, we can retrofit monitored safety sensors to bring it up to legal standards.

Frequently Asked Questions in Mid Sussex

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 Mid Sussex, 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 Mid Sussex?
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 Mid Sussex. 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.
