Fire door closers in Wood Green, N22

Fire door closers for Wood Green buildings

Our fire door closers service covers Wood Green and the wider Greater London area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.

Around Wood Green, care homes, restaurants and mixed-use office buildings all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.

A closer that fails to latch the door is one of the first things we put right on Wood Green fire doors. Free-swing closers are a practical option for Wood Green 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.

Each installation includes:

• Assessment of door size, weight and use
• Close-and-latch test from full open
• Correctly powered closer to BS EN 1154
• Overhead, concealed or free-swing options

Fire door law for Wood Green properties

Fire doors in Wood Green fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.

For residential buildings in Wood Green above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
