Smethwick FAQs

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Smethwick?

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

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Smethwick 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.
