Fire Door Closer Repairs in Saddleworth

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Saddleworth, 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 Saddleworth: 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.

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 Saddleworth?

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

Can you price remedial work in Saddleworth from another company's report?

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