Fire Door Closer Repairs in Cheltenham

Need a fire door closer repair in Cheltenham? Tell us the building and roughly how many doors, and we will confirm a fixed price before booking.

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 Cheltenham.

Questions from Cheltenham clients

Do you work in occupied buildings in Cheltenham?

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

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 Cheltenham?

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

Can fire doors be held open?

Only with a device designed to release the door automatically when the fire alarm sounds, such as an acoustic or alarm-linked electromagnetic hold-open. Wedges and hooks are not acceptable on fire doors.
