What makes communal doors different?

Communal doors take far more traffic than flat entrance doors. They are pushed with trolleys, propped open and slammed. Many are pairs, glazed, or fitted with hold-open devices. That combination is why communal doors so often fail inspections for gaps, worn seals, damaged closers and doors that no longer latch.

In England, communal fire doors in residential buildings above 11 metres must be checked at least every three months under regulation 10. A sound installation makes passing those checks routine.

What you get:

• Evidence pack suitable for regulation 10 records
• Certified single, double or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
• Tested vision panels and durable finishes
• Survey of every communal opening and its use
