Fire door closers for Eastleigh buildings
If you need fire door closers in Eastleigh, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Around Eastleigh, industrial estates, houses with integral garages and HMOs 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.
We set closers in Eastleigh buildings so doors close fully without becoming too heavy to open. Free-swing closers are a practical option for Eastleigh 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.
Each installation includes:
- Close-and-latch test from full open
- Record of model and settings
- Correctly powered closer to BS EN 1154
- Assessment of door size, weight and use
Which fire door rules apply in Eastleigh?
Fire doors in Eastleigh 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.
For residential buildings in Eastleigh 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.

Common questions
Is Eastleigh within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Eastleigh in Hampshire and neighbouring towns such as Southampton. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Eastleigh building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Can a fire door closer be too strong?
Yes. An over-powered or badly set closer makes the door hard to open and may lead people to wedge it. The goal is reliable closing with a reasonable opening force.
What is a free-swing closer?
A closer that lets the door swing freely in normal use and closes it when the fire alarm operates. It suits care settings and people who find doors heavy.
