Double fire doors in Gerrards Cross

What double fire doors in Gerrards Cross should include

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

Around Gerrards Cross, light industrial buildings, family homes after loft conversions and small blocks of flats all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.

Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Gerrards Cross take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Every pair we fit in Gerrards Cross 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.

On a typical job that means:

• Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
• Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
• Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
• Commissioning of closing sequence
