What fire door closers in County Tyrone should include
Our fire door closers service covers all of County Tyrone, across postcode districts including BT68, BT82 and BT77.
We set closers in County Tyrone buildings so doors close fully without becoming too heavy to open. A closer that fails to latch the door is one of the first things we put right on County Tyrone fire doors.
Wherever your building is in County Tyrone, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.
Setting a closer properly
Closers have adjustments for closing speed, latching action and often backcheck. We set them so the door closes from any angle and engages the latch, without slamming. In England, Approved Document M guidance on opening force, no more than 30N for the first 30 degrees and 22.5N from 30 to 60 degrees at the leading edge, is a useful benchmark for usability. Our closers guide has more detail.
The regulations behind fire doors in County Tyrone
County Tyrone is in Northern Ireland, where fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 and Technical Booklet E on fire safety. Duties in non-domestic premises come from the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010.
The English regulation 10 checking regime does not apply here, so the fire risk assessment sets how often doors in County Tyrone are checked. We hand over evidence that supports it.

Yes. We cover all of County Tyrone. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
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.
