Commercial fire doors: our service in Coulsdon
Our commercial fire doors service covers Coulsdon and the wider Greater London area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Coulsdon, fire door work covers everything from purpose-built blocks of flats to restaurants. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Offices, shops and hotels in Coulsdon can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. Each commercial door we fit in Coulsdon 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:
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
- Glazed and solid options to certification
