December 3, 201213 yr comment_5132 Quick query: at my local Cricket Club we have a double set of fire doors that we need to use for access from the outside and egress from inside, but players are leaving the door open as there is no closer - therefore causing a security issue. What fire door closers can we install to make sure that the doors close in sequence and latch? Can we vary speed and force? Tanks Sarah Report

Most retailers should be able to provide the test certificate and using the BS EN 1154 you can determine the power size required. The third digit defines the power size and can be two digits, from to. Report
