Technical Expertise

Door Hardware & Automation

A shopfront is only as good as its operation. We diagnose and replace faulty Low-E Glass Units and Powder Coated Finishes (RAL Colours). If your heavy glass door is dragging or slamming, it often indicates a failure in the floor spring mechanism. Our engineers in Tenterden 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 Tenterden strictly adhere to BS EN 12600 for impact safety. We specialize in Automatic Sliding Door Gear and Thermally Broken Aluminium Profiles. 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 Tenterden

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.
