Fire Door Closer Repairs in Cumbria: questions
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.
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.
