Fire Door Closer Repairs in Retford

Fire Door Closer Repairs in Retford, Nottinghamshire: 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 Retford.

Retford FAQs

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 Retford?

Yes. As well as Retford itself we cover nearby towns including Worksop, Gainsborough and Doncaster.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Retford?

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

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.
