Concealed closer replacement

[Guest Tony]

Hello Everybody,

I am in need to replace an old Astra concealed closer which broke down. Do I need to find a certified installer or any locksmith would do? If the former is there a list/website to find one. Would I also need a certificate after the work is completed?

Thanks a lot,
Tony

Although there is no legal requirement for the fire door installer/maintainer to have a particular qualification, there are relevant requirements set out in Article 17 and Article 18 of the Fire Safety Order https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2005/1541/article/17/made  and   https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2005/1541/article/18/made 

There is no list of competent installers / maintainers as far as I am aware.
