Restoring a busy school entrance with a new bottom pivot and full servicing
At Commercial Door Maintenance and Security Ltd, we were recently called to a school in Gloucestershire to attend to an external aluminium entrance door that had developed operational issues. As a main access point used by staff and students every day, the door’s smooth function and security were critical to the safe running of the site.
Following our site inspection, it was clear that the bottom pivot was worn and no longer providing adequate support. A faulty pivot can lead to poor door alignment, increased strain on other components, and in some cases, safety concerns. Our team recommended a full bottom pivot replacement to restore both reliability and compliance.
We carefully removed the existing hardware and installed a robust new pivot designed for the demands of a busy school environment. Precision alignment was carried out to ensure the door sat correctly in its frame, preventing drag and eliminating resistance that had previously caused difficulty for users.
