Fire Door Repair & Maintenance
CODORE repairs, maintains and replaces commercial fire doors across London, Surrey and Kent. A fire door only protects your building if it's in good working order. We put right the faults that stop it closing, sealing and holding back fire and smoke as it should.
In commercial premises, fire doors are a life-safety measure and a legal responsibility. They're built to hold back fire and smoke long enough for people to get out. But a fire door that's dropped on its hinges, lost its seals or won't self-close no longer does that job. CODORE keeps commercial fire doors working: we find the faults that undermine them and carry out the repair, remedial work or replacement needed to put them right.
We repair the faults that stop a commercial fire door performing: worn or missing seals, closers that don't shut the door fully, misaligned leaves and failed ironmongery. Where a door has simply fallen out of adjustment, that's often a same-visit fix.
When gaps are too wide, seals are damaged or the closing action is wrong, we carry out the remedial work to bring the door back to a safe, correctly operating condition: adjusting, re-hanging and replacing components as needed.
Fire doors take heavy daily use. We service the moving parts that fail first (self-closing devices, hinges, panic and escape hardware, latches and seals) so the door keeps closing and latching reliably between checks.
Some fire doors are too damaged to repair safely. Where a leaf or frame is beyond remedial work, we replace the faulty commercial fire door with a suitable new set and make sure it hangs, closes and seals correctly.
Consistent, correct gaps around the leaf are what let the seals do their job. Gaps that are too wide (or uneven) let smoke and fire past and need putting right.
The intumescent and smoke seals in the leaf or frame expand in heat to close the gap. If they're painted over, torn or missing, that protection is lost.
A fire door has to close itself fully onto the latch, every time. A closer that stops short, slams, or has been disconnected means the door can't protect the escape route.
Impact damage, holes drilled for old hardware, or a warped leaf all compromise a fire door. We assess whether it can be repaired or needs replacing.
A door that's dropped on its hinges binds in the frame, won't latch, and leaves uneven gaps. Re-hanging and re-aligning restores a proper, even close.
Failed hinges, latches, panic bars and locks stop a fire door operating safely. We repair or replace the hardware so the door closes and secures as intended.
Tell us what you've noticed and we'll get it assessed and put right.

A fire door is only counted on in an emergency if it actually closes and seals when it's needed. Everyday use is what wears them down: doors get propped open, closers are disconnected because they slam, seals get painted or knocked off, and hinges drop under constant traffic.
Keeping on top of these faults protects the people in the building and keeps your premises compliant. CODORE's role is the practical side of that: inspecting the doors, finding what's wrong, and carrying out the repair or replacement that brings them back to a safe, working condition.
We check the door, frame, seals, gaps, hinges, closer and hardware to see how it's performing.
We set out clearly what's wrong and whether it calls for repair, remedial work or replacement.
We carry out the work: adjusting, replacing seals and hardware, re-hanging, or fitting a new door set where needed.
We confirm the door self-closes fully onto the latch, sits square and seals evenly before we leave.
We attend fire door repairs and remedial work across the region from our base near Tadworth.

Fire doors need regular checking. For busy commercial premises with heavy foot traffic that typically means frequent routine checks through the year, with any faults acted on promptly. The person responsible for the building should arrange these checks; we're happy to carry out the repairs and remedial work that come out of them.
Many of the most common problems (worn seals, a closer that won't shut the door, misalignment, dropped hinges, failed ironmongery) are repairable. Replacement is usually only needed when the leaf or frame itself is badly damaged. We'll assess the door and tell you honestly which route is appropriate.
Common issues are gaps around the leaf that are too large or uneven, damaged or missing intumescent and smoke seals, a self-closing device that doesn't close the door fully onto the latch, a damaged leaf, and failed hinges or hardware. Propping a fire door open defeats it entirely. We put these faults right so the door works as intended.
Yes. Alongside planned repairs and maintenance, we attend urgent commercial door problems out of hours. If a fire or escape door won't close or secure and is leaving a building unsafe, call us and we'll advise and attend.
