Commercial fire doors: our service in West Bromwich
When you book commercial fire doors in West Bromwich, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Around West Bromwich, HMOs, industrial units 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.
For commercial buildings in West Bromwich, we coordinate access control and alarm interfaces before the doors arrive. Each commercial door we fit in West Bromwich 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:
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
Fire door law for West Bromwich properties
England's framework applies in West Bromwich. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in West Bromwich, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Questions
Do you cover B70 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover West Bromwich including B70, and nearby towns such as Smethwick and Wednesbury. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my West Bromwich building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
Can you install fire doors outside business hours?
Yes. We regularly plan work for evenings, weekends or quiet periods so that offices, shops and hotels can keep running.
