Guest ToniL Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 Hello My elderly mum has moved into an older person's apartment. The fire door is far too heavy for her. She is unable to even open the door. If the tension is altered it snaps shut fast and is dangerous. Do you know of an alternative that meets fire regs but will enable her to open the door with ease. I struggle to use it and I’m fit and well. With thanks Toni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 Hi Toni You need a free-swing fire door closer. For example the Fireco Freedor fire door closer and retainer allows the door being used like any normal door but will trigger an integral door closer when a fire breaks out.

Steve Blakemore Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 Make sure its not a composite door as I have been having issues with those where the manufacturer won't permit them as they were not in the original design.
