Fire Door Closer Repairs in Hinckley

Hinckley landlords, managing agents and facilities teams can book fire door closer repairs with straightforward reports and fixed prices.

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 Hinckley.

Fire Door Closer Repairs in Hinckley: questions

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Hinckley?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Hinckley is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

Do you cover the area around Hinckley?

Yes. As well as Hinckley itself we cover nearby towns including Nuneaton, Bedworth and Coventry.

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.
