Shopfront doors, shutters and entrances for Dubai retail
A shop door has two jobs: let customers in without friction while open, and lock the unit securely when closed. We supply sliding shopfront doors, rolling shutters and mall service doors, and fit them outside trading hours so you keep selling.

How the job runs
From first message to handover in malls and retail
Check the lease and mall rules
Tell us the mall or building. Fit-out rules, working hours and approvals vary and are yours to confirm with management.
Survey and written quote
We measure the opening, note the frame and the power point, and quote each door separately.
Out-of-hours fitting
Frames, motors and sensors are installed when the unit is closed.
Test before opening
Sensors, locks, manual release and shutter stops are tested, then the unit is handed back.
Retail doors by position
A unit has an entrance, a closing system and a service side. Pick the one you are planning.
Closing shutters
Rolling shutters over the shopfront or between units, with a motor and manual override.

Questions people ask
Can you fit a shopfront door outside opening hours?
Yes, we plan the work for closed hours where the mall or building allows. Tell us the working windows when you ask for the quote.
Do I need landlord approval to change my door?
Usually the mall or building management needs to approve drawings and fit-out. Check your lease and ask them early.
What is the difference between a rolling shutter and a grille?
A solid shutter closes the opening fully. A grille lets light and display show through but gives less cover. Either can be motorised.
My shop door stays open or closes late. What should I check?
Look for dust on the sensor, objects near the track or a changed sensor setting. If it persists, send a short video on WhatsApp.
Can one company handle the door and the shutter?
Yes, we quote both together if you want one visit and one document.
Do you maintain shop doors for a chain?
We can agree a maintenance plan in writing across units. Terms depend on the number and location of sites. Ask us for the draft and read it line by line before you agree.
