Fire Door Closer Repairs in the West Midlands: 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.
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.
Which fire safety law applies in the West Midlands?
the West Midlands 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.
Do you work in occupied buildings in the West Midlands?
Yes. Inspections and repairs in the West Midlands can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
