Getting composite fire doors right in Morden
From the SM4 postcode district outwards, we take on composite fire doors across Morden for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Fire doors in Morden protect escape routes in converted flats, restaurants and purpose-built blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Morden they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. We only fit composite doors in Morden 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Certificate reference and photo record

Are composite fire doors as good as timber ones?
Both can perform well when they are certified and installed correctly. Composite doors offer low maintenance and colour choice; timber doorsets offer more flexibility on sizes and finishes. The certification and installation matter more than the material.
Do composite fire doors need a closer?
Yes, as flat entrance doors they need a self-closing device that closes and latches them. This can be overhead or concealed, depending on the certified options.
