What commercial fire doors in Melton Mowbray should include
Our commercial fire doors service in Melton Mowbray is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Around Melton Mowbray, care homes, light industrial buildings and schools 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.
Each commercial door we fit in Melton Mowbray gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away. Offices, shops and hotels in Melton Mowbray can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted.
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
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Glazed and solid options to certification
