Fire door closers in Colne, done to the evidence
Our fire door closers service in Colne is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
In and around Colne, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Free-swing closers are a practical option for Colne care homes and supported living. A closer that fails to latch the door is one of the first things we put right on Colne fire doors.
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:
- Overhead, concealed or free-swing options
- Record of model and settings
- Correctly powered closer to BS EN 1154
- Assessment of door size, weight and use
The regulations behind fire doors in Colne
The rules that apply to fire doors in Colne 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 Colne 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.
Which buildings in Colne need fire door closers?
Landlords, managing agents, facilities teams and homeowners in Colne can all commission fire door closers from us. The usual settings are care homes and offices, though single doors for schools are just as welcome.

Questions from Colne
Is Colne within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Colne in Lancashire and neighbouring towns such as Nelson. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Colne?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
Why won't my fire door latch?
Usually the closer is out of adjustment or under-powered, or the latch and keep are misaligned. Both are normally quick to fix.
Do all fire doors need closers?
Most do. Exceptions include some doors kept locked shut and some doors within houses, depending on the fire strategy.
