Along with Briton door controls, the fire door hardware pioneer provides an extensive range of innovative fire safety hardware designed to improve the effectiveness of fire doors and has developed a trusted reputation for keeping people safe where they live, learn, work, and connect. Allegion’s new video series provides customers of the Briton 1110 door closers with a visual installation and adjustment guide for the door pull mount, transom mount, and parallel arm mount fixing positions. From product unboxing to fixing methods and measurements, the installation videos cover each of the three fixing positions in detail and provide a comprehensive walkthrough of the 1110 installation process. Kirk Smith, Trade Channel Manager at Allegion UK, commented, ‘Inaccurate installation is a major cause of poor product performance and can prevent doors from closing fully, allowing smoke and fire to spread and putting occupants at risk. Properly installed door closers ensure fire doors perform effectively, protecting lives and maintaining compliance.’
Fit with Ease & Confidence. To support correct fitting, the core Briton door closer range comes complete with an Accufit peel-and-stick template to simplify installation and improve fitting accuracy. The Accufit system, along with the new
installation videos to further promote ease and fitting confidence, demonstrates the fire safety hardware supplier’s continuous commitment to improving fire safety standards. Fire doors and fire door hardware are essential to the safeguarding of life and property, but even the toughest components can wear down over time. Particularly in busy corridors and public spaces, hardware can wear out or become damaged, reducing its effectiveness. That’s why regular, competent inspection is crucially important, as an ineffective self-closing device can prevent a door from seating correctly in its frame. To reduce risk and maintain safety, the responsible person must schedule routine checks and, in HMOs, ensure annual inspections of entrance doors and self-closing devices. These regular inspections should be thorough, and a qualified assessor must verify that hinges, seals, latches, gap dimensions, closing mechanisms, signage, and certification are all present and functioning as intended.
Supporting Fire Safety. When a door fails to perform, seek professional advice and ensure repairs or replacements are completed promptly and to recognised standards. Fire doors must continue to meet the same performance criteria they did at installation, especially those forming part of escape routes.

Proactive inspection, expert maintenance, and clear documentation are essential steps that keep doors doing what they were designed to do: protecting people when it matters most. Kirk continues: ‘Our priority is promoting and prioritising fire safety, so we know it’s critical to help eliminate fitting errors wherever possible. By adding a suite of short and engaging videos to our resources, in addition to our technical datasheets, product certifications, and downloadable service and maintenance instructions, we can further support our customers and help to improve safety standards.’
