Commercial fire doors: our service in Exmouth
When you book commercial fire doors in Exmouth, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Exmouth has a broad mix of buildings, including light industrial buildings, family homes after loft conversions and care homes, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Offices, shops and hotels in Exmouth can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. Each commercial door we fit in Exmouth 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.
What you get:
- Glazed and solid options to certification
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
Which fire door rules apply in Exmouth?
In Exmouth, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Exmouth building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
