FAQs
My commercial door is making unusual noises (grinding, squeaking, banging) – what could be the cause?
These noises are early signs of mechanical wear or potential failure. If left unaddressed, they can lead to more serious damage. We recommend scheduling a professional inspection to quickly identify and resolve the issue before it affects safety or daily operations. Our engineers are fully equipped to diagnose and repair noise-related issues efficiently on all commercial door systems.
The door is difficult to open or close, or it's moving slowly/jerky – what are the common culprits?
We’ll assess the entire door system to determine the root cause and make the necessary adjustments or replacements. Regular maintenance helps prevent these issues, ensuring smooth and consistent operation. Contact our expert team for prompt diagnostics and reliable repairs on all commercial door types, from roller shutters to automatic entrances.
My automatic door isn't responding or is opening/closing unexpectedly – what should I check first?
If the issue persists, our engineers can perform a full diagnostic using industry-grade tools. We specialise in automatic door systems and can quickly restore functionality while ensuring the door meets BS EN16005 safety compliance standards. Don’t ignore malfunctions—they can compromise safety and security. Call us for expert support.
The door isn't latching properly or is sagging / dropped – what's the likely issue?
Our engineers will assess and adjust hinges, reinforce frames, or realign locking mechanisms to restore smooth operation and secure closure. In more severe cases, parts may need replacing. Prompt repairs prevent additional wear on surrounding components, ensuring your door remains functional and compliant with building regulations.
What causes tracks to become misaligned or rollers to become damaged, and how are these fixed?
We’ll inspect the entire system, realign or replace worn tracks, and fit new rollers if needed. All repairs are carried out to manufacturer standards using high-quality parts. We also offer scheduled maintenance to prevent such issues from developing, keeping your doors running smoothly and safely all year round.
What should I do if a commercial door breaks down completely? Do you offer emergency repair services?
If your commercial door has broken down entirely, do not force it open or closed—this can worsen the damage or create safety risks. BH Doors & Engineering Ltd offers 24/7 emergency repair services to respond quickly to urgent breakdowns. Our trained engineers carry diagnostic tools and spare parts to resolve most issues on the first visit.
We prioritise securing your premises, restoring access, and minimising downtime. Whether it’s a shutter failure, automatic door malfunction, or structural issue, we’re here to help. Contact our emergency response team any time for fast, professional, and reliable commercial door support.
How do I troubleshoot minor issues before calling a professional technician? (e.g., checking power, resetting system, clearing obstructions)
Do not attempt repairs involving torsion springs, internal wiring, or structural adjustments. If basic checks don’t resolve the issue, contact our professional team. We can provide quick support and on-site diagnostics to prevent small problems from becoming costly repairs. Always prioritise safety when dealing with commercial doors.
What are the signs of worn-out or damaged torsion springs or cables, and why are these dangerous to repair myself?
At BH Doors, our engineers are fully qualified to safely repair or replace springs and cables. We strongly advise against DIY attempts. Call us for a professional assessment – we will restore your system’s safety and functionality using approved methods and top-quality replacement parts.
My metal door is showing signs of rust or corrosion – can it be repaired, or does it need replacement?
However, if corrosion has compromised the structure or function, a replacement may be more cost-effective and secure. Our team can offer a site inspection and advise on the best course of action.
Door closer is malfunctioning (slamming shut, not closing fully, leaking oil) – what's the fix?
We inspect alignment, adjust speed valves, and check mounting points. A leaking closer usually indicates irreparable damage, so we recommend replacing it to restore smooth operation and ensure safety compliance.
What if there's structural damage to the door or frame – is repair or replacement recommended?
Our experienced technicians evaluate integrity and compliance with fire or security standards before recommending the most cost-effective and long-lasting solution.
How do you diagnose electrical or sensor issues with commercial doors?
We also verify response from motion detectors and safety sensors. If a fault is detected, we offer expert repair or component replacement to restore full functionality and compliance with safety standards.
My glass door has cracks or chips – can it be repaired, or does the glass need to be replaced?
This ensures the door remains safe, secure, and compliant with building regulations. Our team supplies and fits high-quality safety glass to match existing designs with minimal disruption to your premises.
What causes weather stripping or seals to break down, and how important is it to replace them?
We offer quick replacements to prevent drafts, water ingress, and rising energy costs. Regular inspection helps catch issues early before they compromise your door’s performance.
How can I tell if a repair will be sufficient versus needing a full door replacement?
However, if a door is warped, corroded, or repeatedly failing, replacement is often more cost-effective long-term. We provide transparent assessments to ensure your door meets performance, safety, and compliance requirements.

Vale Of White Horse District Council
“We would like to thank BH Doors and the two engineers that attended Abbey house last week for the efforts put in to get this work completed. We understand that there was an issue with parts the day before the scheduled visit, and we are very grateful for the efforts BH doors went to, to ensure our visit was not cancelled.
This would have been a perfectly acceptable reason to cause a cancellation, but instead, BH doors put a plan in place to meet another engineer to get the correct parts, all while the other two engineers attended at the time stated and commenced work immediately.
The dedication to the task at hand did not go un-noticed, and we really appreciated it.”
