Double fire doors in Lower Earley

Double fire doors: our service in Lower Earley

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Lower Earley, we offer double fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

Fire doors in Lower Earley protect escape routes in care homes, light industrial buildings and family homes after loft conversions alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Lower Earley care homes and schools that need occasional wide access. Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Lower Earley take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention.

Leaf-and-a-half for wider routes

Leaf-and-a-half doors give a usable everyday opening through the main leaf, with the smaller leaf opened for beds, trolleys or deliveries. They are common in care homes, hospitals and schools. The smaller leaf may be held with flush bolts; any bolts and their positions must be covered by the evidence.

On a typical job that means:

• Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
• Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
• Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
• Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
