Fire Door Closer Repairs in Chalk Farm

Fire Door Closer Repairs in Chalk Farm, Greater London: every door logged, photographed and graded, with a clear price for anything that needs putting right.

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 Chalk Farm.

Chalk Farm FAQs

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.

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Chalk Farm?

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Chalk Farm?

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