Fire Door Closer Repairs in Rutherglen

Fire Door Closer Repairs in Rutherglen, Lanarkshire: every door logged, photographed and graded, with a clear price for anything that needs putting right.

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 Rutherglen.

Fire Door Closer Repairs in Rutherglen: questions

Do you cover the area around Rutherglen?

Yes. As well as Rutherglen itself we cover nearby towns including Cambuslang, Glasgow and East Kilbride.

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.

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 in Rutherglen?

No. Rutherglen is in Scotland, which has its own fire safety law. The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 cover workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises; common parts of private blocks of flats are largely outside them.
