Fire door closers in Ammanford, done to the evidence
Our fire door closers service in Ammanford is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Around Ammanford, small blocks of flats, small offices and schools 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 Ammanford fire doors. Free-swing closers are a practical option for Ammanford 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:
- Adjustment of speed, latching and backcheck
- Close-and-latch test from full open
- Assessment of door size, weight and use
- Correctly powered closer to BS EN 1154
The regulations behind fire doors in Ammanford
Because Ammanford is in Wales, we work to the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales and to the Welsh version of Approved Document B. The responsible person duties under the Fire Safety Order 2005 still apply to workplaces and common parts.
England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in Ammanford comes from your fire risk assessment.

Do all fire doors need closers?

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.
