Fire Door Closer Repairs in Godalming

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Godalming, 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 Godalming.

Questions from Godalming clients

Which fire safety law applies in Godalming?

Godalming is in England, so the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies, together with the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for multi-occupied residential 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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Godalming?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Godalming 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.
