Door closers, pivots and locks 

B&B Locksmiths Oxford supply, fit, repair and adjust door closers, pivots and locks for timber, metal, aluminium and glass doors across Oxford and Oxfordshire. We work on domestic, commercial and communal doors, including offices, shops, flats, schools, shared entrances and public buildings.

​

Door closers, pivots and locks all need to work together for a door to open, close, latch and lock correctly. If one part is worn, loose, damaged or misaligned, the door may slam, drag, fail to close, fail to latch or become difficult to secure.

​

A door closer controls the speed and force of a door as it closes. This helps prevent doors from slamming, being left open, closing too slowly or failing to latch properly. Door closers are commonly used on commercial doors, communal entrances, fire doors, offices, shops, schools, flats and busy shared access doors.

​

Common door closer problems include doors slamming shut, closing too slowly, not closing fully, failing to latch, leaking oil, loose fixings, worn arms or incorrect adjustment. In some cases, the closer can be adjusted. In other cases, it may need to be replaced with a more suitable unit.

​

Door pivots allow certain doors, including some glass, aluminium and commercial doors, to swing smoothly from pivot points rather than standard hinges. If a pivot becomes worn, loose or misaligned, the door may scrape, drop, rub on the frame, fail to close properly or become difficult to lock.

​

Door locks work alongside the closer, pivots, handles, keeps and frame. If the door does not close correctly, the lock may not line up with the keep, causing problems with latching, locking or unlocking.

​

These parts are often repaired or replaced when a door slams, closes too slowly, will not latch, has dropped, scrapes on the floor, feels loose, or no longer locks securely.

​

B&B Locksmiths Oxford can assess the door, closer, pivot, lock and frame to identify the cause of the problem and advise whether adjustment, repair or replacement is the best option.
