Glass Door Repairs
Most are attached to the surrounding structure by means of patch clamp fittings or rails which hold the glass in place. These parts need to be correctly tightened with a torque wrench to ensure that there is no movement and have service items fitted which will wear over time and usage.
Many of the common faults are due to lack of maintenance or people are unaware of these serviceable parts and think they need a new door system.
- Out of alignment causing glass to touch adjacent glass or frame
- Door handles loose
- Door not secured at the top
- Cover plates loose or missing
- Closing too fast
- Difficult to lock and having to lift it up to close
- Not closing or not opening fully
- Catching on the floor causing damage
- Access control or electronic lock not always engaging

Dynamic risk assessments and industry standards
For automatic doors one of the key factors is risk, there are 4, impact, crushing, shearing and drawing in.
During a service we carry out a dynamic risk assessment which will take into account the door type, operational use, the users and carry out the necessary safety checks.
At any point that a risk has been identified, we will either try to eliminate it or reduce the risk to a safe level.
It may result in the automatic door system being adjusted, repaired or even switched off, but generally we will provide a quotation which will detail how to overcome the risk.
The customer will be informed via our risk assessment checklist document per door for their records.
The most common found risks are within the opening and closing cycles of automatic doors which result in pocket doors, barriers or fingerguards being recommended.
