Fire Door Closer Repairs in Chippenham

From the SN15 district outwards, we cover Chippenham and neighbouring towns such as Trowbridge and Bath for fire door closer repairs.

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 Chippenham.

Questions from Chippenham clients

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Chippenham?

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

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.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Chippenham?

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

What closer does a fire door need?

A closer tested to BS EN 1154 with a power size suited to the door's width and weight, and evidence it can be used on the door type. Concealed closers need specific test evidence for the door.
