Commercial fire doors in Aston: what's involved
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Aston, we offer commercial fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Aston, fire door work covers everything from small blocks of flats to houses with integral garages. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Offices, shops and hotels in Aston can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted. For commercial buildings in Aston, 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:
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Glazed and solid options to certification
