Double fire doors for Newtownabbey buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Newtownabbey, we offer double fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around Newtownabbey, fire door work covers everything from schools to houses with integral garages. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Every pair we fit in Newtownabbey is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Newtownabbey care homes and schools that need occasional wide access.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Commissioning of closing sequence
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets

Questions from Newtownabbey
Do you cover BT37 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Newtownabbey including BT37, and nearby towns such as Belfast and Carrickfergus. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Newtownabbey?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
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.
