Fire Door Closer Repairs in Ely

From the CB6 district outwards, we cover Ely and neighbouring towns such as Newmarket and March for fire door closer repairs.

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. We use the same method for buildings in Ely.

Fire Door Closer Repairs in Ely: questions

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.

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.

Do you cover the area around Ely?

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Ely?

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