Fire door closers for Flint buildings
If you need fire door closers in Flint, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Flint protect escape routes in schools, family homes after loft conversions and small blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We set closers in Flint buildings so doors close fully without becoming too heavy to open. Free-swing closers are a practical option for Flint care homes and supported living.
The most common fire door fault
A fire door that does not close is not doing its job. Closers fail because they are under-powered, out of adjustment, damaged, leaking or disconnected by people who find the door too heavy. Often the fix is a correctly sized closer, set up properly, rather than a new door.
What you get:
- Assessment of door size, weight and use
- Close-and-latch test from full open
- Correctly powered closer to BS EN 1154
- Adjustment of speed, latching and backcheck
Fire door law for Flint properties
Flint is in Wales, where new and replacement fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 as applied in Wales, with the Welsh Approved Document B as guidance. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 also applies, so responsible persons in workplaces and the common parts of blocks must keep fire doors maintained.
One difference from England: regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, with its quarterly and annual fire door checks, does not apply in Wales. Your fire risk assessment sets the checking regime instead, and we work to it.
Who needs fire door closers in Flint?
From care homes to HMOs, the requirement for fire door closers in Flint comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Questions from Flint
Do you work in Flint?
Yes, we take on fire door closers in Flint and the surrounding area, including Deeside and Buckley. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Flint?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
Do all fire doors need closers?
Most do. Exceptions include some doors kept locked shut and some doors within houses, depending on the fire strategy.
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.
