Commercial fire doors in Stevenage: what's involved
Our commercial fire doors service in Stevenage is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Stevenage has a broad mix of buildings, including low-rise blocks of flats, industrial estates and family homes after loft conversions, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Offices, shops and hotels in Stevenage can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. For commercial buildings in Stevenage, 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:
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
- Glazed and solid options to certification
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Out-of-hours and phased working
What the rules say for Stevenage
In Stevenage, 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 Stevenage 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.
