Fire Door Closer Repairs in Derry

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Derry, our fire door closer repairs follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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 Derry.

Fire Door Closer Repairs in Derry: questions

Do you work in occupied buildings in Derry?

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

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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply in Derry?

No. Derry is in Northern Ireland, where the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 apply.
