Full Hardware Replacement and Reinstallation
When a retail outlet in Telford experienced a serious fault with their APG double glass entrance doors, they contacted Commercial Door Maintenance & Security Ltd for professional assistance. Both the floor spring and the transom closer had failed, leaving the heavy glass doors unstable, unsafe, and unable to operate correctly. As the main entrance to a busy retail environment, the failure posed both safety and access issues, requiring immediate attention. Our specialist engineers were dispatched promptly to diagnose the cause and carry out the necessary repairs, ensuring minimal disruption to trading hours and full compliance with safety standards.
Upon arrival, our team carried out a detailed inspection of the entrance system. It became clear that both the floor spring and the transom closer mechanisms had suffered extensive wear, likely from prolonged daily use and insufficient resistance control. Because of the structural design of this particular APG glass door system, the entire door assembly had to be carefully removed to gain access to the failed components. This required precision handling and the use of specialist lifting equipment to safely remove each glass leaf without damage. Once removed, we prepared the frame and threshold area for the installation of brand-new hardware, ensuring a perfect fit and alignment for long-term reliability.
