Fire Door Closer Repairs in Hampshire: questions
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.
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.
Which fire safety law applies in Hampshire?
Hampshire is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential buildings.
Do you work in occupied buildings in Hampshire?
Yes. Inspections and repairs in Hampshire can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
