Fire Door Closer Repairs in Margate

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Margate, our fire door closer repairs follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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 Margate.

Fire Door Closer Repairs in Margate: questions

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

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

Which fire safety law applies in Margate?

Margate 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.

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.

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.
