Roller Shutters: Keeping Your Business Secure
Roller shutters are a go-to choice for many businesses across the UK because of their robust design and ability to provide excellent security. However, like anything mechanical, they can encounter faults over time which is why regular servicing is so important. One of the most common issues we see with roller shutters is damaged slats, often caused by accidental impacts, such as forklifts or delivery vehicles.
Another common problem is the motor wearing out, especially if the shutters are used multiple times a day. Then there’s the dreaded jammed shutter, which can leave you stuck – either locked out or unable to secure your premises. At UK Doors & Shutters, we’ve seen it all. We understand how frustrating these issues can be, which is why our team works quickly to diagnose and repair the problem, restoring your peace of mind.
Fire Shutters: Safety You Can Rely On
Fire shutters are an essential part of many businesses, designed to compartmentalise buildings and stop the spread of flames and smoke in case of a fire. But like all safety systems, they need to function flawlessly when it matters most. Unfortunately, fire shutters can sometimes develop faults due to wear and tear, such as misaligned tracks or failed motor mechanisms. Another common issue is the failure of the shutter to automatically close during a fire alarm test – something you definitely don’t want to discover during an actual emergency. We know how vital fire shutters are for safety compliance and protecting lives, so we offer thorough inspections and reliable repairs to ensure they’re always in perfect working order.
Sectional Doors: Durable and Versatile
Sectional doors are a favourite for warehouses, garages, and industrial units due to their strength and space-saving design. They open vertically and tuck neatly under the roof, making them ideal for areas where space is at a premium. But they’re not immune to problems. Broken springs and cables are some of the most frequent issues we encounter, often leaving the door stuck halfway up or down. Damaged panels from accidental knocks are another headache for business owners, as they not only look unsightly but can compromise security. At UK Doors & Shutters, we know that sectional door issues can slow down operations, so our team is always on hand to provide swift, expert repairs to keep your business running smoothly.
High-Speed Doors: Efficiency Meets Functionality
High-speed doors are a fantastic solution for businesses that need to maintain a controlled environment, whether it’s a cold storage facility, a food manufacturing unit, or a busy logistics hub. Their speed and reliability are key to maintaining efficiency. However, due to their frequent use, wear and tear is almost inevitable. One common issue is with the door’s sensors, which can fail or become misaligned, causing the door to malfunction or stop responding altogether. Torn or damaged curtains can also affect their ability to seal properly, which is particularly problematic in temperature-controlled environments. We understand how important high-speed doors are for productivity, and our skilled technicians specialise in getting them back up and running in no time.
Steel Doors: Tough Security Solutions
Steel doors are synonymous with strength and security, making them a popular choice for everything from warehouses to schools and office buildings. They’re built to withstand a lot, but even steel doors aren’t completely immune to problems. One of the most common faults is a misaligned or damaged hinge, which can cause the door to drag or not close properly. Rust or corrosion, especially in older doors, is another issue that can weaken the door’s integrity over time. Locks and handles can also wear out or jam, leaving you with a door that’s either difficult to operate or impossible to secure. At UK Doors & Shutters, we’re well-versed in repairing and maintaining steel doors, ensuring they continue to provide the protection you need.
