Commercial fire doors in Cheltenham: what's involved
If you need commercial fire doors in Cheltenham, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Around Cheltenham, schools, converted period houses and offices all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Offices, shops and hotels in Cheltenham can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. For commercial buildings in Cheltenham, 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.
What you get:
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
