Commercial fire doors in Deal: what's involved
Our commercial fire doors service in Deal is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Around Deal, small offices, small blocks of flats and family homes after loft conversions 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 Deal can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. For commercial buildings in Deal, 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
The regulations behind fire doors in Deal
The rules that apply to fire doors in Deal are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Deal block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
