Fire Door Closer Repairs in Maidstone

From the ME16 district outwards, we cover Maidstone and neighbouring towns such as Chatham and Rochester 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 Maidstone.
