Fire Door Closer Repairs in North Shields: questions

Do you work in occupied buildings in North Shields?

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

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.

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 North Shields?

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