Fire Door Closer Repairs in Newton Abbot

From the TQ12 district outwards, we cover Newton Abbot and neighbouring towns such as Torquay and Paignton for 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. We use the same method for buildings in Newton Abbot.

Questions from Newton Abbot clients

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.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Newton Abbot?

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

Do you cover the area around Newton Abbot?

Yes. As well as Newton Abbot itself we cover nearby towns including Torquay, Paignton and Exmouth.
