What fire door closers in Greenock should include
When you book fire door closers in Greenock, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
In and around Greenock, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to small blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Free-swing closers are a practical option for Greenock care homes and supported living. A closer that fails to latch the door is one of the first things we put right on Greenock 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:
- Record of model and settings
- Assessment of door size, weight and use
- Correctly powered closer to BS EN 1154
- Overhead, concealed or free-swing options
Rules and responsibilities in Greenock
Greenock is in Scotland, which has its own system. Building work, including many fire door replacements, is governed by the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and the Technical Handbooks, with Section 2 covering fire; where a building warrant is needed it comes from the local authority. In non-domestic premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 set the duties.
The common parts of private blocks of flats largely sit outside Part 3 of the 2005 Act, so the fire risk assessment and housing obligations usually drive fire door work in residential buildings in Greenock.

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.
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.
