Fire Door Closer Repairs in Hereford

From the HR1 district outwards, we cover Hereford and neighbouring towns such as Great Malvern and Worcester 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.

Questions from Hereford clients

Do you work in occupied buildings in Hereford?

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

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Hereford?

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