In and around Weston-super-Mare, fire door work covers everything from family homes after loft conversions to houses with integral garages. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Offices, shops and hotels in Weston-super-Mare can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. Each commercial door we fit in Weston-super-Mare 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:
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
- Glazed and solid options to certification
