Why Important
Door closers are required by Wirral Council on new and upgraded fire and smoke-check doors.
What to look for
When to look
How to fix
Surface-mounted units will cause the least damage to the door but are very obtrusive and are not always aesthetically acceptable – if used, the older style closers are best.
Alternatively, concealed door closers can be used, which can be fixed either into the hinge stile or the top rail of the door.
