Double fire doors: our service in Staveley
We provide double fire doors in Staveley (S43 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Fire doors in Staveley protect escape routes in care homes, small offices and light industrial buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Staveley care homes and schools that need occasional wide access. Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Staveley take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention.
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.
What you get:
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Commissioning of closing sequence
- Closers matched to each leaf
Rules and responsibilities in Staveley
The rules that apply to fire doors in Staveley are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Staveley block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

How quickly can you survey in Staveley?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
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.
