Fire door closers in Coleraine, done to the evidence
If you need fire door closers in Coleraine, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Coleraine has a broad mix of buildings, including houses with integral garages, small offices and family homes after loft conversions, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
A closer that fails to latch the door is one of the first things we put right on Coleraine fire doors. We set closers in Coleraine 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.
What you get:
- Assessment of door size, weight and use
- Adjustment of speed, latching and backcheck
- Close-and-latch test from full open
- Record of model and settings

Questions from Coleraine
Do you work in Coleraine?
Yes, we take on fire door closers in Coleraine and the surrounding area, including Ballymena and Derry. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Coleraine?
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.
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.
