Commercial fire doors in Barnstaple, done to the evidence
Our commercial fire doors service in Barnstaple is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Barnstaple protect escape routes in small blocks of flats, houses with integral garages and light industrial buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For commercial buildings in Barnstaple, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive. Each commercial door we fit in Barnstaple gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away.
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
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
- Glazed and solid options to certification

In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
