Double fire doors: our service in Dyfed
We provide double fire doors across Dyfed, covering 41 postcode districts from SA14 to SY25.
Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Dyfed care homes and schools that need occasional wide access. Every pair we fit in Dyfed is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch.
Dyfed 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.
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.
Rules and responsibilities in Dyfed
Because Dyfed is in Wales, we work to the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales and to the Welsh version of Approved Document B. The responsible person duties under the Fire Safety Order 2005 still apply to workplaces and common parts.
England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in Dyfed comes from your fire risk assessment.

Double fire doors questions
Do you provide double fire doors across Dyfed?
Yes. We cover all of Dyfed, including Llanelli and Ammanford. 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.
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.
