Aluminium Door Repair
Recently, we were called upon to carry out an essential aluminium door repair for Richer Sounds, a well-known retailer of hi-fi and home cinema equipment.
The Problem: A Faulty Transom Closer & Worn Bottom Pivot
Richer Sounds was experiencing difficulties with one of their aluminium entrance doors. The door had become difficult to open and close smoothly, posing a potential security risk and inconvenience to both customers and staff. Upon inspection, our expert team identified two key issues:
- The transom closer was faulty, preventing the door from closing properly.
- The bottom pivot was worn and loose, affecting the door’s stability and alignment.
Both of these problems, if left unresolved, could lead to further wear and potential door failure, making prompt professional repair essential.
Our Repair Solution
As specialists in commercial door repairs, we carried out the necessary work with precision and efficiency, ensuring minimal disruption to Richer Sounds’ daily operations. Our repair process included:
We removed the faulty transom closer and installed a new, high-quality unit designed for smooth, controlled door closing. This helps prevent slamming, reduces wear on the door frame, and improves security.
The worn bottom pivot was replaced with a durable new component, restoring the door’s stability and ensuring proper alignment for seamless operation.
After installation, we conducted rigorous testing to ensure the door was functioning correctly, making fine adjustments for optimal performance.

Aluminium shopfront and entrance doors used by the public must remain in safe operation under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992. Where the door also forms part of an emergency escape route, panic hardware compliance to BS EN 1125 / BS EN 179 applies. Glazing replacement on commercial doors should specify toughened or laminated to BS 6206 / BS EN 12600 as appropriate.
Annual inspection of pivots, top centres, transom closer, hinges and frame seals is the recommended baseline for high-traffic commercial aluminium doors. High-footfall retail and hospitality entrances benefit from six-monthly intervals. Pivots and top centres are wear items — early replacement at first signs of play extends the life of the surrounding closer and frame.
