- Before-and-after photos per door
- Closer replacement and adjustment
- Re-glazing to the original system
- Seal, strip and pad replacement

Do you use original manufacturer parts?
We use components that match the door's certification, which is often the manufacturer's own parts or products listed in its evidence.
Can I paint over intumescent strips?
Painting over smoke seals stops them working, and heavy paint can affect intumescent strips. Damaged or painted seals should be replaced with the specified type.
