Fire door closers in Hailsham

What fire door closers in Hailsham should include

If you need fire door closers in Hailsham, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

Fire doors in Hailsham protect escape routes in light industrial buildings, care homes and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

A closer that fails to latch the door is one of the first things we put right on Hailsham fire doors. We set closers in Hailsham 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.

As standard, the work covers:

• Overhead, concealed or free-swing options
• Assessment of door size, weight and use
• Correctly powered closer to BS EN 1154
• Adjustment of speed, latching and backcheck

Which fire door rules apply in Hailsham?

Fire doors in Hailsham fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.

For residential buildings in Hailsham above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
