Fire door closers for Farnborough buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Farnborough, we offer fire door closers with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Around Farnborough, high-street shops, schools and houses with integral garages 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 Farnborough fire doors. Free-swing closers are a practical option for Farnborough 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Close-and-latch test from full open
- Overhead, concealed or free-swing options
- Correctly powered closer to BS EN 1154
- Record of model and settings
Fire door law for Farnborough properties
England's framework applies in Farnborough. 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 Farnborough, 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.

Common questions
Do you work in Farnborough?
Yes, we take on fire door closers in Farnborough and the surrounding area, including Camberley and Aldershot. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
