1.3 Shopfront Doors 3 February 2016

The standard shopfront door is to be a powder
coated aluminium hinged door frame finished
in RAL 7043. Single full height glazed panel door
with decals with a plastic coated full height
door handle in RAL 9010.

The main entrance door is either a single door or
two. When two single doors are required, one is
for customer access and the other for deliveries.
Double doors will only be used where they have
been installed by a developer. The customer
access door must comply with Part M (Access
to and Use of Buildings) and meet the aims and
objectives of the Equality Act 2010.

The delivery door should provide a clear
900mm opening. This door will need to be fitted
with a ‘Maglock’ (by others) or other coded
access control system, and will need a 75mm
head rail on the door frame. The closer spring
for this door requires adjustment to ensure that
the ‘Maglock’ works correctly, i.e. that it closes
firmly enough to minimise security risk but not so
fast that it bounces back open.

When a delivery door is in full public view, it
should be obscured by a frosted vinyl film.
This applies to top and bottom glazed panels
and top lights, as appropriate. The top panel
should incorporate the domino tile logo (not
the previous diamond logo) with the lines and
letters weeded out.

If a driver’s door is present in the shopfront,
there should be a standard heavy duty letter
plate, that is usually on the main door when the
driver’s door isn’t visible from the shopfront.

When there is a timber shopfront, an overhead
door closer should be fitted by the shopfitter.
The design of door and frame must allow for this.
