Fire Door Closer Repairs in Bathgate

From the EH48 district outwards, we cover Bathgate and neighbouring towns such as Livingston and Falkirk 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 Bathgate.

Questions from Bathgate clients

Which fire safety law applies in Bathgate?

In Scotland, fire safety duties for workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, with new work designed to the Scottish building standards.

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.

Do you cover the area around Bathgate?

Yes. As well as Bathgate itself we cover nearby towns including Livingston, Falkirk and Airdrie.

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.
