Fire Door Closer Repairs in Workington

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

In short: 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.

Questions from Workington clients

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 Workington?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Workington is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

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.

Do you cover the area around Workington?

Yes. As well as Workington itself we cover nearby towns including Whitehaven, Dumfries and Carlisle.
