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 Royal Tunbridge Wells.

Questions from Royal Tunbridge Wells clients

Do you cover the area around Royal Tunbridge Wells?

Yes. As well as Royal Tunbridge Wells itself we cover nearby towns including Tonbridge, Crowborough and Sevenoaks.

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 Royal Tunbridge Wells?

Royal Tunbridge Wells 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.

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.
