Fire Door Closer Repairs in Dorset: 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.
Which fire safety law applies in Dorset?
Dorset is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.
Do you work in occupied buildings in Dorset?
Yes. Inspections and repairs in Dorset can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
