Each commercial door we fit in Cleckheaton gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away. Offices, shops and hotels in Cleckheaton 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Out-of-hours and phased working
- Glazed and solid options to certification
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
