Glass door repairs

Glass Door Repairs

Generally, glass doors are specified to give a clear view through them as they have no frame and to give the appearance that they are not there.

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.

Common issues and problems for glass doors which need repairing are:

  • 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
