Fire door closers across Cambridgeshire

Fire door closers in Cambridgeshire, done to the evidence

For fire door closers anywhere in Cambridgeshire, one team handles the survey, supply, installation and handover, covering Peterborough, Cambridge, Wisbech and the rest of the county.

Free-swing closers are a practical option for Cambridgeshire care homes and supported living. We set closers in Cambridgeshire buildings so doors close fully without becoming too heavy to open.

Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in Cambridgeshire can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.

Setting a closer properly

Closers have adjustments for closing speed, latching action and often backcheck. We set them so the door closes from any angle and engages the latch, without slamming. In England, Approved Document M guidance on opening force, no more than 30N for the first 30 degrees and 22.5N from 30 to 60 degrees at the leading edge, is a useful benchmark for usability. Our closers guide has more detail.

What the rules say for Cambridgeshire

In Cambridgeshire, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.

Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Cambridgeshire building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
