Across Cornwall, from Redruth to smaller towns and villages, we carry out fire door closer repairs for landlords, housing providers, schools and businesses.
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.

Fire Door Closer Repairs in Cornwall: 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.
Which fire safety law applies in Cornwall?
Cornwall is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.
How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Cornwall?
