Looking for fire door closers in Wilmslow? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Wilmslow and the wider Cheshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Buildings in and around Wilmslow range from light industrial buildings to care homes and small offices. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

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

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 you get:

• Correctly powered closer to BS EN 1154
• Overhead, concealed or free-swing options
• Close-and-latch test from full open
• Assessment of door size, weight and use
