Fire Door Closer Repairs in Ayr

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Ayr, our fire door closer repairs follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

In short: a fire door closer is the self-closing device that pulls a fire door shut after it has been opened. If the closer cannot close the door fully into its frame and engage the latch, the door cannot hold back fire or smoke.

Questions from Ayr clients

Can fire doors be held open?

Only with a device designed to release the door automatically when the fire alarm sounds, such as an acoustic or alarm-linked electromagnetic hold-open. Wedges and hooks are not acceptable on fire doors.

Which fire safety law applies in Ayr?

In Scotland, fire safety duties for workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, with new work designed to the Scottish building standards.

What closer does a fire door need?

A closer tested to BS EN 1154 with a power size suited to the door's width and weight, and evidence it can be used on the door type. Concealed closers need specific test evidence for the door.

Can you price remedial work in Ayr from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Ayr, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.
