Composite fire doors in County Antrim: what's involved
Our composite fire doors service runs throughout County Antrim. Main towns include Lisburn, Newtownabbey and Carrickfergus, and we cover the smaller places in between.
Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in County Antrim they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. For deck-access blocks in and around County Antrim, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail.
Wherever your building is in County Antrim, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.
Where do composite fire doors make sense?
Composite doorsets are widely used as flat entrance doors, both inside corridors and on external deck-access walkways where the door faces the weather. Their factory finish avoids repainting, which matters because paint build-up is a common reason seals stop working. Many products also offer security features alongside the fire rating.
Fire door law for County Antrim properties
County Antrim is in Northern Ireland, where fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 and Technical Booklet E on fire safety. Duties in non-domestic premises come from the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010.
The English regulation 10 checking regime does not apply here, so the fire risk assessment sets how often doors in County Antrim are checked. We hand over evidence that supports it.

Questions
Do you provide composite fire doors across County Antrim?
Yes. We cover all of County Antrim, including Lisburn and Newtownabbey. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Can composite fire doors face the weather?
Some are designed for external use on deck-access blocks. The product must be certified for that use and fitted with the right threshold and weather detailing.
Can I add a letterbox to a composite fire door?
Only if the letterplate is part of the certified doorset. Cutting one in afterwards would compromise the door's fire performance.
