Technical Expertise

Door Hardware & Automation

A shopfront is only as good as its operation. We diagnose and replace faulty Floor Springs and Automatic Sliding Door Gear. If your heavy glass door is dragging or slamming, it often indicates a failure in the floor spring mechanism. Our engineers in Alton carry specialized lifting equipment to safely remove heavy leaves and replace the hydraulic units, restoring smooth, safe operation.

Glazing & Safety Standards

Safety is non-negotiable. All our installations in Alton strictly adhere to BS EN 12600 for impact safety. We specialize in Toughened Safety Glass (BS EN 12600) and Anti-Finger Trap Stiles. For high-risk areas, we install laminated glass which holds together even when shattered, maintaining the security of your premises until a full replacement can be fitted.

⚠️ Regulatory Compliance in Alton

Commercial entrances must meet strict UK regulations. We ensure your doors comply with the Equality Act 2010 (DDA Compliance), providing clear opening widths and low-threshold access for wheelchair users. Furthermore, all our powered doors meet BS EN 16005 safety standards, utilizing safety sensors to prevent impact injuries.
