Fire Door Closer Repairs in Garston: questions

Do you cover the area around Garston?

Yes. As well as Garston itself we cover nearby towns including Speke, Halewood and Ellesmere Port Town.

Which fire safety law applies in Garston?

Garston 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.

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.
