What double fire doors in Omagh should include
When you book double fire doors in Omagh, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Buildings in and around Omagh range from family homes after loft conversions to schools and small offices. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Omagh care homes and schools that need occasional wide access. Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Omagh take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention.
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:
- Closers matched to each leaf
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated

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.
