Types of Problems Associated with Commercial Aluminium Doors

Door Closer Problems

Door closers experience significant wear and tear due to frequent use. Over time, the springs tend to weaken, causing inconsistent closing speeds. One might notice the hydraulic fluid leaking, which results in the door either failing to close properly or shutting too forcefully. Regular maintenance and adjustment of the closing mechanism prove essential for preventing these issues.

Leaking Oil From Transom Closers

After years of service, transom closers often develop troublesome oil leaks. These leaks not only affect the door's operation but also leave unsightly marks on doors and floors. As the seals within the closer deteriorate, oil begins to seep out. In most cases, one needs professional replacement of the seals or, in more serious situations, the entire closer unit.

Bottom Pivot Collapse

The bottom pivot must withstand considerable weight and stress from daily operations. Should this vital component fail, the entire door may drop or become misaligned. Warning signs include peculiar noises, door dragging, or difficult operation. Swift intervention typically prevents complete failure and more costly repairs.

Door Slamming Issues

Door slamming creates both disruptive noise and potential damage to the door frame and surrounding structure. This typically stems from poorly adjusted closers or worn components. British weather conditions particularly affect door operation, necessitating seasonal adjustments to maintain proper control.

Broken or Cracked Glass

Glass damage poses immediate security and safety concerns for any commercial premises. Impact damage, stress from misalignment, or thermal expansion can cause the glass to crack or shatter. One must quickly replace damaged glass with appropriate safety glazing to maintain building security and ensure user safety.

Loose Doors

Doors often become loose owing to worn hinges, failed fixings, or frame deterioration. This creates worrying security risks and can lead to further damage if left unaddressed. Regular inspection of all fixing points and prompt repair of loose components help maintain door stability.

Re-alignment Issues

Door misalignment typically occurs gradually through regular use or suddenly from impact. Tell-tale signs include uneven gaps around the door, catching on frames, or difficult operation. Professional re-alignment ensures proper function and prevents excessive wear on components.

Doors Scraping Along the Floor or Threshold

When doors scrape along the floor, it indicates serious alignment problems that can damage both the door and the flooring. Common causes include building settlement, worn pivots, or loose hinges. Proper adjustment of door height and alignment prevents ongoing damage whilst ensuring smooth operation.

Glazing Installation Problems

Poor glazing installation leads to numerous door problems. Incorrect fitting places additional stress on door components, resulting in:

• Excessive wear on hinges and pivots
  
• Poor weight distribution
• Frame distortion
• Component failure
• Compromised seals

Professional installation and regular maintenance prove essential for preventing these installation-related issues.
