Commercial fire doors in Lincoln, done to the evidence
From the LN6 postcode district outwards, we take on commercial fire doors across Lincoln for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Lincoln has a broad mix of buildings, including converted period houses, care homes and offices, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
For commercial buildings in Lincoln, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive. Each commercial door we fit in Lincoln 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.
On a typical job that means:
- 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
Which fire door rules apply in Lincoln?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Lincoln 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 Lincoln 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.

Do you work in Lincoln?

Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Can fire doors have access control?
Yes, if the electric locks, readers and cabling are covered by the door's certification and the locking releases safely for escape. We coordinate with your security contractor.
Who is responsible for fire doors in a commercial building?
The responsible person under the fire safety law for that nation, usually the employer, owner or occupier. Leases often share duties between landlord and tenant.
