Fire Door Closer Repairs in Catford

Need a fire door closer repair in Catford? 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 Catford.

Questions from Catford clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Catford?

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

Can you price remedial work in Catford from another company's report?

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

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.
