Commercial fire doors in Finchley: what's involved
If you need commercial fire doors in Finchley, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Finchley range from schools to mixed-use office buildings and clinics. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Offices, shops and hotels in Finchley can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. Each commercial door we fit in Finchley 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:
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Glazed and solid options to certification
The regulations behind fire doors in Finchley
England's framework applies in Finchley. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors. In London, the London Fire Brigade is the enforcing authority for fire safety law.
For blocks over 11 metres in Finchley, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
