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 Paignton.

Paignton FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Paignton?

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

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.

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.

Can you price remedial work in Paignton from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Paignton, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.
