Fire door closers in Coalville, done to the evidence
Looking for fire door closers in Coalville? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Coalville and the wider Leicestershire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
In and around Coalville, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to care homes. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
A closer that fails to latch the door is one of the first things we put right on Coalville fire doors. Free-swing closers are a practical option for Coalville 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.
What you get:
- Overhead, concealed or free-swing options
- Adjustment of speed, latching and backcheck
- Assessment of door size, weight and use
- Correctly powered closer to BS EN 1154
The regulations behind fire doors in Coalville
Fire doors in Coalville 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.

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.

Questions
Do you cover LE67 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Coalville including LE67, and nearby towns such as Loughborough and Swadlincote. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Coalville?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
