Fire door closers: our service in East Riding of Yorkshire
Across East Riding of Yorkshire, from Kingston upon Hull to Bridlington, we survey, supply and fit fire door closers for homes, blocks of flats and workplaces.
Free-swing closers are a practical option for East Riding of Yorkshire care homes and supported living. A closer that fails to latch the door is one of the first things we put right on East Riding of Yorkshire fire doors.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in East Riding of Yorkshire can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
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.

Questions
Do you provide fire door closers across East Riding of Yorkshire?
Yes. We cover all of East Riding of Yorkshire, including Kingston upon Hull and Bridlington. 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.
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.
