Fire Door Closer Repairs in Taunton

From the TA1 district outwards, we cover Taunton and neighbouring towns such as Bridgwater and Burnham-on-Sea for fire door closer repairs.

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 Taunton.

Taunton FAQs

How quickly can you inspect fire doors in Taunton?

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.

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.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Taunton?

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

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.
