Commercial & Automatic Services
Automatic Sliding Door Repairs
Specialist engineering for unresponsive automatic sliding systems. We repair track rollers, belts, and motor assemblies for Record and Gilgen doors.
Floor Spring Removals
Sourcing and swapping out completely blown or fluid-leaking hydraulic floor springs from commercial Geze and Dorma casing housings.
Glass Door Patch Fittings
Comprehensive glass retail door maintenance covering heavy bottom patch hinges, top lock boxes, and stainless steel hardware adjustments.
Automatic Swing Operators
Mechanical diagnostics and replacement of heavy overhead automatic swing operators, control logic cards, and articulated link arms.
Shopfront Closer Replacements
Extraction and fitting of heavy-duty concealed door transom closers from structural brands including Dorma, Axim, and Alpro.
Common Trade Diagnostic Faults
Retail shopfronts in Blackfriars frequently depend on safety compliance checks for automated entries.
- Hydraulic door closures or floor springs discharging dangerous oily fluid indicators of severe internal breakdown.
- Pedestrian entrance motion fields failing to activate reliably, stranding retail patrons outdoors.
- Access logic loops or commercial magnetic lock overrides freezing without warning, presenting fire pathway hazards.
- Concealed transom systems grinding and binding because internal gear spindles dropped beneath standard clearance parameters.
- Aluminium framing assemblies dragging aggressively against door thresholds, locking the entryways entirely.
Engineering Process
- 1
Precision Calibrations
We physically source new machinery modules, implement hardware profiles, and precisely scale closing cycles and detection radii.
- 2
Specialist Commercial Sourcing
Our dynamic response vehicles house authentic parts from Record, FAAC, Axim, and Dorma to enable single-visit commercial remediation.
- 3
Automated System Triage
Our trade engineers deploy rapidly to map sensor connectivity, power lines, and structural clearway alignments to pinpoint operational failures.

Compliance Evaluation Tests
Every automated system repair concludes with an exhaustive check to enforce absolute building compliance with UK BS EN 16005 metrics.
