Fire Door Closer Repairs in Harwich

Responsible persons in Harwich can book fire door closer repairs with clear reports, useful photos and itemised prices.

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 Harwich.

Fire Door Closer Repairs in Harwich: questions

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.

Do you cover the area around Harwich?

Yes. As well as Harwich itself we cover nearby towns including Felixstowe, Ipswich and Clacton-on-Sea.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Harwich?

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