Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Bromsgrove they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. We only fit composite doors in Bromsgrove in configurations covered by the product's certification.
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.
What you get:
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
