Commercial fire doors in Willesden, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Willesden, we offer commercial fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Willesden protect escape routes in hotels, mixed-use office buildings and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For commercial buildings in Willesden, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive. Each commercial door we fit in Willesden 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:
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
