Fire Door Closer Repairs in Eltham

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Eltham, our fire door closer repairs follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

In short: 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.

Fire Door Closer Repairs in Eltham: questions

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 Eltham from another company's report?

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

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Eltham?

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

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.
