In short: 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.

Common questions in Scarborough

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Scarborough?

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

Can you price remedial work in Scarborough from another company's report?

Yes. Send the report and we will price each line for your building in Scarborough, or revisit specific doors if the report lacks detail.

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.

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.
