Fire door closers for Bedworth buildings
Looking for fire door closers in Bedworth? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Bedworth and the wider Warwickshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Buildings in and around Bedworth range from houses with integral garages to small blocks of flats and family homes after loft conversions. 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 Bedworth fire doors. Free-swing closers are a practical option for Bedworth 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:
- Close-and-latch test from full open
- Overhead, concealed or free-swing options
- Correctly powered closer to BS EN 1154
- Record of model and settings

Questions from Bedworth
Is Bedworth within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Bedworth in Warwickshire and neighbouring towns such as Nuneaton. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Bedworth building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
