Fire Door Closer Repairs in Rickmansworth

From the WD3 district outwards, we cover Rickmansworth and neighbouring towns such as Watford and Chalfont Saint Peter 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 Rickmansworth.

Common questions in Rickmansworth

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.

Do you cover the area around Rickmansworth?

Yes. As well as Rickmansworth itself we cover nearby towns including Watford, Chalfont Saint Peter and North Watford.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Rickmansworth?

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

What closer does a fire door need?

A closer tested to BS EN 1154 with a power size suited to the door's width and weight, and evidence it can be used on the door type. Concealed closers need specific test evidence for the door.
