Fire door closers in Rutland, done to the evidence
We provide fire door closers across Rutland, covering 1 postcode districts from LE15 to LE15.
A closer that fails to latch the door is one of the first things we put right on Rutland fire doors. We set closers in Rutland buildings so doors close fully without becoming too heavy to open.
Wherever your building is in Rutland, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.
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.
Rules and responsibilities in Rutland
England's framework applies in Rutland. 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 Rutland, 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.

Questions
Do you provide fire door closers across Rutland?
Yes. We cover all of Rutland. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
