Fire Door Closer Repairs in Bolton

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

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 Bolton.

Bolton FAQs

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.

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Bolton?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Bolton?

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