Fire Door Closer Repairs in Carrickfergus

We provide fire door closer repairs for buildings in Carrickfergus and the BT38 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Carrickfergus.

Questions from Carrickfergus clients

Do you work in occupied buildings in Carrickfergus?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Carrickfergus can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

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.

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.
