Double fire doors in County Tyrone: what's involved
We provide double fire doors across County Tyrone, covering 12 postcode districts from BT68 to BT82.
Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for County Tyrone care homes and schools that need occasional wide access. Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in County Tyrone take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention.
County Tyrone has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
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.
The regulations behind fire doors in County Tyrone
County Tyrone 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 Tyrone are checked. We hand over evidence that supports it.

Questions
Do you provide double fire doors across County Tyrone?
Yes. We cover all of County Tyrone. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Why does the gap between the two leaves matter?
The meeting edges are where flame and smoke can pass most easily. The gap and the seals there must match the certification for the pair to perform as tested.
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.
