Leaf-and-a-half for wider routes
Leaf-and-a-half doors give a usable everyday opening through the main leaf, with the smaller leaf opened for beds, trolleys or deliveries. They are common in care homes, hospitals and schools. The smaller leaf may be held with flush bolts; any bolts and their positions must be covered by the evidence.
The regulations behind fire doors in County Armagh
County Armagh is in Northern Ireland, where fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 and Technical Booklet E on fire safety. Duties in non-domestic premises come from the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010.
The English regulation 10 checking regime does not apply here, so the fire risk assessment sets how often doors in County Armagh are checked. We hand over evidence that supports it.

Common questions
Do you provide double fire doors across County Armagh?
Yes. We cover all of County Armagh, including Craigavon and Portadown. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
