Fire door closers in Clwyd, done to the evidence
For fire door closers anywhere in Clwyd, one team handles the survey, supply, installation and handover, covering Wrexham, Buckley, Deeside and the rest of the county.
A closer that fails to latch the door is one of the first things we put right on Clwyd fire doors. We set closers in Clwyd buildings so doors close fully without becoming too heavy to open.
Fire door work in Clwyd spans housing providers with large estates, individual landlords, businesses and homeowners. We price every job from a survey, never from a list price alone, because the condition of the frames and the hardware makes a real difference.
Overhead, concealed or free-swing
Overhead closers are the most common and easiest to maintain. Concealed closers keep a clean look and deter tampering, if covered by the door's evidence. Free-swing closers let a door move freely in everyday use and close when the fire alarm sounds, which is useful in care homes and for people who find doors hard to open.
The regulations behind fire doors in Clwyd
Fire door work in Clwyd follows Welsh building regulations and the Welsh Approved Document B. The Fire Safety Order 2005 covers workplaces and the shared parts of residential buildings here too, placing the duty on the responsible person.
The English regulation 10 checking regime does not extend to Clwyd, so how often doors are checked comes from the fire risk assessment. We hand over evidence that fits whatever regime your assessor sets.

Fire door closers questions
Do you provide fire door closers across Clwyd?
Yes. We cover all of Clwyd, including Wrexham and Buckley. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Can a fire door closer be too strong?
Yes. An over-powered or badly set closer makes the door hard to open and may lead people to wedge it. The goal is reliable closing with a reasonable opening force.
Why won't my fire door latch?
Usually the closer is out of adjustment or under-powered, or the latch and keep are misaligned. Both are normally quick to fix.
