South Ockendon FAQs

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.

Why won't my fire door close properly?

Common causes are a closer set too weak, a latch out of line with the keep, dropped hinges, a seal binding at the edge, or flooring that has raised the threshold. We find the cause before adjusting the closer.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in South Ockendon?

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

Do you work in occupied buildings in South Ockendon?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in South Ockendon can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
