Fire door closers in Gosport

Fire door closers in Gosport: what's involved

Looking for fire door closers in Gosport? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Gosport and the wider Hampshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Buildings in and around Gosport range from care homes to houses with integral garages and schools. 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 Gosport fire doors. Free-swing closers are a practical option for Gosport 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.

What you get:

• Close-and-latch test from full open
• Assessment of door size, weight and use
• Record of model and settings
• Correctly powered closer to BS EN 1154

Which fire door rules apply in Gosport?

The rules that apply to fire doors in Gosport are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.

Where a Gosport block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
