What composite fire doors in Bangor should include
When you book composite fire doors in Bangor, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Bangor has a broad mix of buildings, including industrial estates, schools and houses with integral garages, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Bangor they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. For deck-access blocks in and around Bangor, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail.
How we fit composite doorsets
Composite doorsets are installed strictly to the manufacturer's instructions, which typically set out fixing positions, packing, the sealing of the frame-to-wall gap and threshold details. We set the closer so that it closes and latches the door, test the locks and record everything for your files. Where a resident or freeholder chooses colours, we make sure the chosen option is within the certified range.
On a typical job that means:
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals

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.
