Our Work
All of the below pictures are a mix of before & after & some catalogue photos to give our customers an idea of the types of products we service and maintain
We created this page to help customers see our work and try to identify the types of Door and Window hardware they have but through the page it has turned more into a blog page but either way we hope it helps our customers
Glass door repairs are a daily call for us and as we work in London on a daily basis and due to the streets of London being like wind tunnels in some areas our manual glass door repairs in London are quite common. we often get calls for Dorma Glass Door repairs , Geze Glass Door repairs and Speedy Glass Door repairs which mainly cover fully glazed Glass doors but you also have Aluminium Glazed doors which are normally Axim Glass doors or Alpro Glass doors , all of these types of door are mainly found on main entrance doors.
Window repairs whether it be on UPVC windows or Aluminium windows are now quite a common job for us and we see more and more issues with friction style hinges with the tell tail sign of a set that needs replacing when the hinge side starts to pop out leaving a gap between window and frame and stopping the window either from opening and closing properly or not locking. The other issues we come across is window locking systems, now days windows tend to have a centre window lock / gearbox which attaches to a shoot-bolt system that has 2 extra points of locking at each end of the window and when these shoot-bolts come away from the centre gearbox that shoots the bolts which is normally in the locked position and in the middle of summer when you really need to be able to open the window that is when we get a call to come and help. The last issue we come across is the good old window handle not working.
Rutland door closers are getting quite popular and guess what we maintain them, they have quite an extensive range from Rutland scissor arm door closers , Rutland slide arm door closers , Rutland concealed slide arm door closers , Rutland electromagnetic door closers , Rutland floorsprings / floorcloser and finally now they also do Rutland aluminium transom door closers so they have quite the range and it is not uncommon for them not to put their logo on the closer covers so sometimes you need to remove the cover to identify their closers, We generally find their products on Timber doors and in Schools and Hospitals as alot of their range is Fire Rated and to BS EN standards.
Arrone door parts fall under the Hoppe umbrella and between them they offer a huge range of door hardware from Arrone door closers to Hoppe hinges and handles which is mainly found more in commercial buildings like Schools and Hospitals and the quality of the product is very high standard as well. When ever we come across Hoppe or Arrone products we always try to fix like for like as there is no real upgrade to their products as they are of such a good standard and due to the fact you find their products in alot of commercial buildings alot of their product conform to BS EN standards and are Certifire 3rd party tested when it comes to fire standards.
Master key systems are a great way to control access for commercial buildings, residential flats, schools and hospitals. The idea is to have 1 Grand master key that opens every door in the building (this is the key you don't loose of give out) then under that key you can have multiple sub maters for specific areas within the building and then again you can have additional sub masters that then in that specific area only open certain doors within that area so the master key section then starts to branch out like a tree in essence and controlling who has access access to specific areas and rooms of your building the other good thing with master key sections is that staff/users can't go and just get extra keys cut which could potentially breach the security measures you have put in place by using a master key section as all master key sections have a patented key blank and any extra keys can only be ordered via the original supplier of the master key section which is all based around keeping the site secure. if you need any advice or any clarification on anything to do with master key just contact us.
