Fire door closers in Tewkesbury

Fire door closers for Tewkesbury buildings

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

Buildings in and around Tewkesbury range from light industrial buildings to houses with integral garages and small blocks of flats. 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 Tewkesbury fire doors. Free-swing closers are a practical option for Tewkesbury 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.

On a typical job that means:

• Correctly powered closer to BS EN 1154
• Close-and-latch test from full open
• Adjustment of speed, latching and backcheck
• Record of model and settings

In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
