Keep suitable doors working as intended
Cause identified
We assess the whole assembly rather than treating the visible symptom.
Targeted work
We adjust and repair suitable parts to avoid needless replacement.
Honest repair limits
We explain when damage or compatibility makes a new set necessary.
Find the fault before repairing it
A door that drags, leaves a wide gap or stops short of the latch is showing a fault, not merely being awkward. We assess the leaf, frame, hinges and ironmongery together to find what is causing the problem. The issue may sit in worn hinges, loose fittings, frame movement, poor alignment or local damage to the leaf. We also check the closer and latch because adjusting one part without understanding the rest can simply move the fault elsewhere. Where repair is suitable, we restore the assembly through careful adjustment, localised work and compatible replacement parts. Our aim is to return a suitable existing door to dependable service without recommending unnecessary replacement.
Repair where the existing door allows it
We judge each repair against the condition, known rating and compatibility of the existing assembly. Work may include correcting gaps, adjusting hinges, repairing a damaged threshold or addressing local defects in a leaf or frame. We can also restore or replace fittings that prevent proper closing and latching. If damage is too extensive, parts are unsuitable or the door cannot support the required performance, we explain why replacement is the sounder route. You receive plain advice based on what we can see and test, helping you decide where targeted work is worthwhile and where continued patching would leave an unreliable door.
Frequently asked questions
Can every damaged fire door be repaired?
No. Repair depends on the leaf, frame, rating, damage and compatibility of the fitted parts. We inspect those points together and explain whether targeted work can restore the assembly or replacement is required.
What causes a fire door to stop latching?
Common causes include hinge wear, poor alignment, frame movement, closer settings or a fault at the latch. We check the full closing path and mounting points so the repair tackles the cause rather than only the symptom.
Can you correct excessive gaps around the leaf?
Often, but the available repair depends on the door and frame condition. We measure the clearances, inspect the hinges and alignment, and identify suitable adjustment or remedial work before changing the assembly.
