Door Closers
Fire door closers are a vital component of any fire safety system, designed to ensure that fire doors close reliably and automatically to help contain fire and smoke in an emergency. At Firesense, we stock a high-quality range of fire door closers suitable for a variety of applications and building types, from commercial offices and schools to care homes, residential developments, and public facilities. Our door closers are sourced from trusted manufacturers and built to meet current UK fire safety standards, including BS EN 1154.
Properly functioning fire door closers are essential for maintaining passive fire protection and ensuring escape routes remain protected. Whether fitted to new doors or used as replacements in existing installations, these closers help buildings meet legal requirements while improving day-to-day functionality and safety.
How Fire Door Closers Work
Fire door closers are mechanical devices that ensure a fire door automatically returns to the closed position after being opened. In a fire situation, this helps to compartmentalise the building, slowing the spread of flames and smoke and allowing occupants more time to evacuate safely. Closers are typically spring-loaded and can be either surface-mounted, concealed, or floor-mounted, depending on the type of door and the aesthetic or functional requirements of the space. Many modern closers also feature adjustable closing speed and latching action, ensuring smooth, quiet operation while still meeting strict fire safety standards.
Choosing the Right Closer
At Firesense, we offer a range of closers with different power sizes and fitting options to suit a variety of door weights and traffic conditions. Lighter-duty models are suitable for internal office or residential doors, while heavy-duty closers are designed for frequently used doors in high-traffic environments such as corridors, stairwells, and entrance lobbies. All closers in our range are certified for use on fire doors, with models available that support 90- and 120-minute fire door ratings, ensuring full compliance in a wide range of applications. We also offer units with delayed action or backcheck features for environments like hospitals or care homes where controlled closing is necessary to allow safe passage for vulnerable users.
Integration with Other Door Control Systems
Fire door closers can be used alongside a range of other door safety components, including fire door retainers and access control systems. When used in conjunction with a door retainer, for example, the closer ensures that the door closes securely when the magnetic hold is released during a fire alarm. Closers are also essential in maintaining the integrity of doors held open by automatic systems, helping to complete a compliant and effective fire door setup.
Quality and Compliance from Firesense
All fire door closers supplied by Firesense are third-party tested and certified, ensuring they meet or exceed legal requirements for fire door safety.
