Fire door closers and ironmongery in Lancaster: how we work
We fit fire door closers, hinges and hold-open devices in Lancaster and the rest of Lancashire. The process is simple: we survey and measure each opening, propose a certified doorset for it, and give you a fixed price. Fitting is booked once the doorsets are made, usually with no door left out of action overnight.
Lancaster is about 20 miles from Preston. Wherever your building is in LA1, we arrange survey and fitting dates around access and occupancy.

Common questions in Lancashire
Do you work for landlords and managing agents in Lancaster?
Yes. We can schedule doors flat by flat, send quotes per property and invoice the managing agent or freeholder.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Lancaster?
Yes. We phase work in occupied buildings and keep escape routes available. Each door is planned to be removed and replaced the same day; if that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.
Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Lancaster.
What closer strength does a fire door need?
Enough to close and latch the door reliably — often EN3 or EN4 for standard leaves — while keeping opening force within accessibility limits.
