Double fire doors in Rhyl, done to the evidence
Looking for double fire doors in Rhyl? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Rhyl and the wider Clwyd area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
In and around Rhyl, 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 Rhyl take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Rhyl care homes and schools that need occasional wide access.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Closers matched to each leaf
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
Rules and responsibilities in Rhyl
Rhyl 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.
Where double fire doors fit in Rhyl
From hospitals and clinics to schools, the requirement for double fire doors in Rhyl comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Questions
Do you cover LL18 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Rhyl including LL18, and nearby towns such as Colwyn Bay and Flint. The survey and written quote are free.
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.
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.
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.
