Fire Door Closer Repairs in Christchurch

We provide fire door closer repairs for buildings in Christchurch and the BH6 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

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 Christchurch.
