Fire Door Closer Repairs in Didcot

Fire Door Closer Repairs in Didcot, Oxfordshire: 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 Didcot.

Fire Door Closer Repairs in Didcot: questions

Do you work in occupied buildings in Didcot?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Didcot can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Didcot?

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

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.
