Fire door closers in Stockton-on-Tees

Fire door closers in Stockton-on-Tees, done to the evidence

Our fire door closers service covers Stockton-on-Tees and the wider County Durham area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.

Around Stockton-on-Tees, care homes, industrial estates and HMOs 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.

Free-swing closers are a practical option for Stockton-on-Tees care homes and supported living. A closer that fails to latch the door is one of the first things we put right on Stockton-on-Tees fire doors.

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.

Each installation includes:

• Assessment of door size, weight and use
• Close-and-latch test from full open
• Record of model and settings
• Overhead, concealed or free-swing options
