Guest MagdalenaHos Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Hello, I am living in house, provided by my employer in England. This is renovated one. We found our fire doors very heavy to open. Is here any regulation which determines how heavy the fire doors should be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sutton Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 By its nature fire doors are heavy but in my experience no more difficult to open, unless the self closer is incorrectly adjusted or the leaf of the door is binding on something, do you have self closer fitted?

Guest Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 I have recently moved to a block of flats. The garage area is underneath the block. The door into the garage from the lift vestibule is ridiculously heavy to open and closes like a rat trap causing the whole vestibule area to shake. This block is designed for people over 55 to live. Most are above 70 years old. Surely there has to be a better method of firmly positively closing a door.Thanks Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyB Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Just adjust the closer or if it is old replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sutton Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 You could consider a cam operated door closer providing the conditions are acceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
