Fire Door Closer Repairs in Cheshire: questions
My door slams. Is that a fault?
Yes. A slamming door wears hinges and frames and can injure users. The closing speed and latching action can usually be adjusted.
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 Cheshire?
Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Cheshire is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

Yes. As well as Cheshire itself we cover nearby towns including Warrington, Chester and Crewe.
