Glass Door Floor Spring Closer Replacement – Saffron Waldon Baptist Church

On our initial visit and site survey, we found that the glass door was closing violently without any control and a major health and safety risk as a person could be impacted or crushed by the door. Also, this door is part of the escape route from the Church so it is required to be operational at all times.

This required removal of the glass doors to allow us to replace the Dorma floor spring closers, so we carried out a risk assessment and deployed our yellow men barriers to designate a safe working area.

Due to the size and weight, two engineers were required to allow the safe removal. The leaking floor spring was replaced with new and the doors was rehung.

The closers were set up set up so that it closes under control safely and closes so the locking engages correctly. It is important that the door opens fully to 90 degrees and when it is closed it aligns within the frame and seals correctly.

We will always check that this is the case and adjust where necessary.

Following completion, we always clean the doors, frame and work area to ensure your door is back to an as new condition.
