Fire Door Closer Repairs in Lancaster

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Lancaster, 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 Lancaster.

Questions from Lancaster clients

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.

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.

Do you cover the area around Lancaster?

Yes. As well as Lancaster itself we cover nearby towns including Morecambe, Fleetwood and Thornton-Cleveleys.

Which fire safety law applies in Lancaster?

Lancaster 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.
