Fire door closers for Fife buildings
For fire door closers anywhere in Fife, one team handles the survey, supply, installation and handover, covering Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy, Glenrothes and the rest of the county.
We set closers in Fife 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 Fife fire doors.
Fire door work in Fife spans housing providers with large estates, individual landlords, businesses and homeowners. We price every job from a survey, never from a list price alone, because the condition of the frames and the hardware makes a real difference.
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.
Fire door law for Fife properties
Fife is in Scotland, which has its own system. Building work, including many fire door replacements, is governed by the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and the Technical Handbooks, with Section 2 covering fire; where a building warrant is needed it comes from the local authority. In non-domestic premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 set the duties.
The common parts of private blocks of flats largely sit outside Part 3 of the 2005 Act, so the fire risk assessment and housing obligations usually drive fire door work in residential buildings in Fife.

Common questions
Do you provide fire door closers across Fife?
Yes. We cover all of Fife, including Dunfermline and Kirkcaldy. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
Do all fire doors need closers?
Most do. Exceptions include some doors kept locked shut and some doors within houses, depending on the fire strategy.
