Fire Door Closer Repairs in Bartley Green

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Bartley Green, our fire door closer repairs follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

In short: 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.

Bartley Green FAQs

Do you cover the area around Bartley Green?

Yes. As well as Bartley Green itself we cover nearby towns including Halesowen, Smethwick and Birmingham.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Bartley Green?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Bartley Green 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.

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.
