SHORT ANSWER
Choose floor spring hardware for glass doors from the complete door condition: glass door type, opening direction, door size and weight, floor preparation, upper and lower pivot arrangement, related clips/locks/handles, finish and quantity. A floor spring body is not enough information to confirm a replacement or new-project configuration.
Floor spring hardware is often requested from a photo of the floor box or cover plate. That can identify a likely product direction, but it does not show the full glass door control arrangement. The following checklist makes the first enquiry useful for both new projects and replacements.
The short answer
Send a full photo of the glass door, the top and bottom pivot areas, the floor interface and any existing hardware. Add door dimensions and estimated weight if known, the opening direction, glass details, finish, quantity, destination and timing. Treat a product model as a starting reference until the complete door condition is reviewed.
1. Identify the glass door condition
Start by describing the door and its use: single or double leaf, framed or frameless glass, new installation or replacement, and the intended opening direction. Photograph both sides of the door and show the hardware at the top, bottom and lock/handle area.
The purpose is not to diagnose a site issue remotely. It is to define the door condition that the hardware must work with. If you have an existing model code, include it with the images, but do not omit the whole-door information.
2. Confirm the floor and pivot interface
For a new project, provide the floor plan or relevant detail showing the proposed floor interface. For replacement work, show the existing floor recess, cover, lower pivot and upper pivot/patch route. Door size, estimated weight and glass condition should be sent together because a floor spring is part of a connected control arrangement.
State single/double leaf, framed/frameless glass and new or replacement project.
Show the opening direction, swing condition and handle/lock position.
Provide dimensions, estimated weight and available glass information.
Photograph or draw the floor, lower pivot, upper pivot and related glass fittings.
Add finish, quantity, destination and sample or quotation timing.
3. Review the complete control route
Fenrova groups floor springs, door closers and floor pivots as separate directions under door and window control hardware. A floor spring may be only one item in the final glass door route. Check the related pivots, clips, handles, locks or bolts before treating a single component as the whole specification.
For the wider glass-door product path, use door and window control hardware. If the project team is still preparing information, the system matching guide helps organize the inputs without implying a final engineering approval.
What to send before requesting a quote
Include a full door photo or drawing, door dimensions, estimated weight, opening direction, glass information, floor/pivot details, existing hardware reference where applicable, finish, quantity and destination. This also supports a clearer timeline conversation, because missing system information can be identified before a model is treated as confirmed.
Frequently asked questions
Can I replace a floor spring from the cover plate size alone?
No. The cover plate does not confirm the internal body, pivot arrangement, door condition or glass hardware route. Provide whole-door and interface photos.
Does a glass door always use the same floor spring route?
No. Door type, opening condition, glass, pivots and related fittings all need to be considered together.
What if I do not know the door weight?
Send the door width, height and glass information where available, and mark the weight as unconfirmed. The missing value can then be included in the review.

Show the full glass door condition before selecting the floor spring route
Share the door, floor and pivot details. Fenrova can then identify the relevant product direction and the inputs that still need confirmation.
