Fire door closers in Yate

Fire door closers in Yate, done to the evidence

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

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

We set closers in Yate buildings so doors close fully without becoming too heavy to open. Free-swing closers are a practical option for Yate care homes and supported living.

Setting a closer properly

Closers have adjustments for closing speed, latching action and often backcheck. We set them so the door closes from any angle and engages the latch, without slamming. In England, Approved Document M guidance on opening force, no more than 30N for the first 30 degrees and 22.5N from 30 to 60 degrees at the leading edge, is a useful benchmark for usability. Our closers guide has more detail.

What you get:

• Overhead, concealed or free-swing options
• Adjustment of speed, latching and backcheck
• Record of model and settings
• Close-and-latch test from full open

Which fire door rules apply in Yate?

England's framework applies in Yate. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.

For blocks over 11 metres in Yate, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
