Fire Door Closer Repairs in Bridgwater

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Bridgwater, our fire door closer repairs follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

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 Bridgwater.

Fire Door Closer Repairs in Bridgwater: questions

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 Bridgwater?

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

Do you work in occupied buildings in Bridgwater?

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

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.
