Communal corridors and stairs in Yeadon buildings take the heaviest use, so we choose finishes and hardware that keep working between checks. The evidence pack for each communal door in Yeadon is set out to support whatever checking regime your fire risk assessment sets.

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.

Each installation includes:

• Certified single, double or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
• Phased programme keeping escape routes protected
• Tested vision panels and durable finishes
• Survey of every communal opening and its use
