Fire Door Closer Repairs in Northolt

From the UB5 district outwards, we cover Northolt and neighbouring towns such as Greenford and Harrow for fire door closer repairs.

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 Northolt.

Northolt FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Northolt?

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

Do you work in occupied buildings in Northolt?

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

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.

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.
