Fire Door Closer Repairs in Yeovil

From the BA20 district outwards, we cover Yeovil and neighbouring towns such as Bridgwater and Taunton 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.

Questions from Yeovil clients

Do you cover the area around Yeovil?

Yes. As well as Yeovil itself we cover nearby towns including Bridgwater, Taunton and Weymouth.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Yeovil?

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

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.

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.
