Fire door closers: our service in Gorseinon
From the SA4 postcode district outwards, we take on fire door closers across Gorseinon for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Fire doors in Gorseinon protect escape routes in light industrial buildings, small offices and family homes after loft conversions alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
A closer that fails to latch the door is one of the first things we put right on Gorseinon fire doors. We set closers in Gorseinon buildings so doors close fully without becoming too heavy to open.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Close-and-latch test from full open
- Adjustment of speed, latching and backcheck
- Assessment of door size, weight and use
- Record of model and settings
Fire door law for Gorseinon properties
Gorseinon is in Wales, where new and replacement fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 as applied in Wales, with the Welsh Approved Document B as guidance. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 also applies, so responsible persons in workplaces and the common parts of blocks must keep fire doors maintained.
One difference from England: regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, with its quarterly and annual fire door checks, does not apply in Wales. Your fire risk assessment sets the checking regime instead, and we work to it.

Questions
Is Gorseinon within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Gorseinon in West Glamorgan and neighbouring towns such as Llanelli. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Gorseinon?
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.
What is a free-swing closer?
A closer that lets the door swing freely in normal use and closes it when the fire alarm operates. It suits care settings and people who find doors heavy.
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.
