Composite fire doors for Lisburn buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Lisburn, we offer composite fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Lisburn protect escape routes in high-street shops, HMOs and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For deck-access blocks in and around Lisburn, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail. We only fit composite doors in Lisburn in configurations covered by the product's certification.
What to check before you buy
Composite doors vary widely. The certification must cover the whole doorset as supplied: the core, skin, frame, glazing, letterplate, viewer and every item of hardware. Ask to see the certificate and the installation instructions, and check that the door's configuration, such as a side panel or glazed panel, is actually covered. BS 8214:2026 now includes maintenance guidance for composite and metal doors, reflecting how common they have become.
On a typical job that means:
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Certificate reference and photo record
