Fire Door Closer Repairs in Cambridge

From the CB2 district outwards, we cover Cambridge and neighbouring towns such as Newmarket and Ely for fire door closer repairs.

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.

Cambridge FAQs

Do you cover the area around Cambridge?

Yes. As well as Cambridge itself we cover nearby towns including Newmarket, Ely and Huntingdon.

Why won't my fire door close properly?

Common causes are a closer set too weak, a latch out of line with the keep, dropped hinges, a seal binding at the edge, or flooring that has raised the threshold. We find the cause before adjusting the closer.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Cambridge?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Cambridge is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

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.
