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.

Questions from London clients

My door slams. Is that a fault?

Yes. A slamming door wears hinges and frames and can injure users. The closing speed and latching action can usually be adjusted.

Do you cover the area around London?

Yes. As well as London itself we cover nearby towns including City of Westminster, Pimlico and Islington.

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 London?

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