Double fire doors in Hawarden: what's involved
Our double fire doors service covers Hawarden and the wider Clwyd area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Hawarden, fire door work covers everything from small offices to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Hawarden take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Every pair we fit in Hawarden is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch.
Why pairs need extra care
The meeting stiles are the weak point of a pair. Gaps there must be controlled, both leaves need intumescent and smoke seals as specified, and if the meeting edges are rebated, a door coordinator is usually needed so the leaves close in the right order. If they close out of sequence, the door may not latch and will not perform as tested.
What you get:
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Closers matched to each leaf
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
Rules and responsibilities in Hawarden
Hawarden is in Wales, where new and replacement fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 as applied in Wales, with the Welsh Approved Document B as guidance. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 also applies, so responsible persons in workplaces and the common parts of blocks must keep fire doors maintained.
One difference from England: regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, with its quarterly and annual fire door checks, does not apply in Wales. Your fire risk assessment sets the checking regime instead, and we work to it.

Questions
Is Hawarden within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Hawarden in Clwyd and neighbouring towns such as Deeside. There is no charge for the survey.
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.
Do both leaves need closers?
Usually, yes. Each leaf of a fire door pair needs to close itself. The closers are sized to each leaf's width and weight.
