What commercial fire doors in Belfast should include
Our commercial fire doors service covers all of Belfast, across postcode districts including BT1, BT15 and BT9.
Each commercial door we fit in Belfast gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away. Offices, shops and hotels in Belfast can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted.
Belfast has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
Access control and hold-opens
Modern offices and hotels often combine fire doors with access control, electric locks and hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm. Electric locking on an escape route has to release safely, and any holes, cables and devices in the door must be covered by the evidence. We coordinate with your security and fire alarm contractors on the interfaces.
