County Tyrone has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
Pairs, vision panels and robust finishes
We fit single, double and leaf-and-a-half communal doors, with vision panels in tested glazing systems and finishes chosen to stand up to use, such as laminates and kick plates covered by the certification. For pairs, the meeting edges, rebates and any door coordinator must match the evidence; see our double fire doors page.

Common questions
Do you provide communal fire doors across County Tyrone?
Yes. We cover all of County Tyrone. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Can communal fire doors be held open?
Only with a proper hold-open device that releases the door when the fire alarm operates. Wedges and hooks are not acceptable. Electromagnetic holders or free-swing closers are the usual solutions.
Will the stairs be out of use while you work?
No. We phase the work so that each route stays protected and usable, replacing doors one section at a time and never leaving an opening without a door at the end of the day.
