Commercial fire doors in Wrexham: what's involved
If you need commercial fire doors in Wrexham, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Wrexham protect escape routes in low-rise blocks of flats, houses with integral garages and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Offices, shops and hotels in Wrexham can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. For commercial buildings in Wrexham, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
The regulations behind fire doors in Wrexham
Wrexham is in Wales, where new and replacement fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 as applied in Wales, with the Welsh Approved Document B as guidance. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 also applies, so responsible persons in workplaces and the common parts of blocks must keep fire doors maintained.
One difference from England: regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, with its quarterly and annual fire door checks, does not apply in Wales. Your fire risk assessment sets the checking regime instead, and we work to it.
