Fire door closers in Stanford-le-Hope

Fire door closers for Stanford-le-Hope buildings

Our fire door closers service in Stanford-le-Hope is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.

Buildings in and around Stanford-le-Hope range from small blocks of flats to care homes and schools. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

A closer that fails to latch the door is one of the first things we put right on Stanford-le-Hope fire doors. Free-swing closers are a practical option for Stanford-le-Hope care homes and supported living.

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
• Record of model and settings
• Close-and-latch test from full open
• Assessment of door size, weight and use
