Double fire doors in Llanelli, done to the evidence
We provide double fire doors in Llanelli (SA15 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
In and around Llanelli, fire door work covers everything from light industrial buildings to small offices. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Llanelli care homes and schools that need occasional wide access. Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Llanelli 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Commissioning of closing sequence
Fire door law for Llanelli properties
Fire door work in Llanelli follows Welsh building regulations and the Welsh Approved Document B. The Fire Safety Order 2005 covers workplaces and the shared parts of residential buildings here too, placing the duty on the responsible person.
The English regulation 10 checking regime does not extend to Llanelli, so how often doors are checked comes from the fire risk assessment. We hand over evidence that fits whatever regime your assessor sets.
Which buildings in Llanelli need double fire doors?
Landlords, managing agents, facilities teams and homeowners in Llanelli can all commission double fire doors from us. The usual settings are communal corridors and hospitals and clinics, though single doors for office cores are just as welcome.

Questions from Llanelli
Do you cover SA15 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Llanelli including SA15, and nearby towns such as Gorseinon and Swansea. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
