Questions from Hailsham clients

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 Hailsham from another company's report?

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Hailsham?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Hailsham 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.
