Fire door closers for West Yorkshire buildings
Our fire door closers service runs throughout West Yorkshire. Main towns include Leeds, Bradford and Huddersfield, and we cover the smaller places in between.
Free-swing closers are a practical option for West Yorkshire care homes and supported living. We set closers in West Yorkshire buildings so doors close fully without becoming too heavy to open.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in West Yorkshire can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
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.
The regulations behind fire doors in West Yorkshire
The rules that apply to fire doors in West Yorkshire are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a West Yorkshire block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Common questions
Do you provide fire door closers across West Yorkshire?
Yes. We cover all of West Yorkshire, including Leeds and Bradford. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
