Fire door closers for Stroud buildings
If you need fire door closers in Stroud, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Stroud, fire door work covers everything from industrial estates to HMOs. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
A closer that fails to latch the door is one of the first things we put right on Stroud fire doors. Free-swing closers are a practical option for Stroud 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:
- Assessment of door size, weight and use
- Overhead, concealed or free-swing options
- Close-and-latch test from full open
- Correctly powered closer to BS EN 1154
