Aluminium Door Transom Closer Repair – Redshank House, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire
We were called to look at a non-closing aluminium door at Redshank House shared offices in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire. On our initial call out we found that the transom closer had failed and the door was not closing into the frame. This was difficult to lock and secure the main entrance.
This required removal of the doors to allow us to inspect the transom closer, so we carried out a risk assessment and designated a safe working area.Once the door was removed it was apparent that the closer seals had failed and had to be replaced. Also, the drive arm was worn, so these had to be replaced as well whilst the door was removed.
We installed the new Axim Transom Closer, then refitted the door and checked the alignment with the seals and locks, adjusting where necessary. The door closer was tested for opening and closing, adjusting the closer for a smooth closing action. Finally, we cleaned the aluminium door, glass and frame completing the repair and provided documentation as all of our work comes with a 12 months guarantee.
