Double fire doors for Aylesbury buildings
From the HP20 postcode district outwards, we take on double fire doors across Aylesbury for homes, blocks and workplaces.
In and around Aylesbury, fire door work covers everything from industrial estates to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Aylesbury take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Every pair we fit in Aylesbury is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch.
Hold-opens and escape
Pairs on corridors are often held open in daily use, with hold-open devices releasing both leaves when the alarm sounds. Where a pair is on an escape route used by the public, the escape hardware and the direction of opening also need to suit the fire strategy.
What you get:
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Commissioning of closing sequence
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
Rules and responsibilities in Aylesbury
The rules that apply to fire doors in Aylesbury are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Aylesbury block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
Who needs double fire doors in Aylesbury?

Common questions
Do you work in Aylesbury?
Yes, we take on double fire doors in Aylesbury and the surrounding area, including Leighton Buzzard and Berkhamsted. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
Can double fire doors be held open?
Yes, with hold-open devices that release on the fire alarm, or with free-swing closers. Wedges and hooks are not acceptable.
What does a door coordinator do?
It holds the leaf that must close second until the first leaf has shut, so rebated meeting edges close in the right order and both leaves latch. Without it, the pair can end up open or misaligned.
