Fire door closers: our service in Hawarden
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Hawarden, we offer fire door closers with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Around Hawarden, schools, family homes after loft conversions and care homes all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
A closer that fails to latch the door is one of the first things we put right on Hawarden fire doors. We set closers in Hawarden buildings so doors close fully without becoming too heavy to open.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Adjustment of speed, latching and backcheck
- Assessment of door size, weight and use
- Record of model and settings
- Correctly powered closer to BS EN 1154
Which fire door rules apply in Hawarden?
Hawarden 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.

Common questions
Do you cover CH5 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Hawarden including CH5, and nearby towns such as Deeside and Buckley. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Hawarden?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
What is a free-swing closer?
A closer that lets the door swing freely in normal use and closes it when the fire alarm operates. It suits care settings and people who find doors heavy.
