Double fire doors in East Riding of Yorkshire, done to the evidence
Across East Riding of Yorkshire, from Kingston upon Hull to Bridlington, we survey, supply and fit double fire doors for homes, blocks of flats and workplaces.
Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in East Riding of Yorkshire take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for East Riding of Yorkshire care homes and schools that need occasional wide access.
Wherever your building is in East Riding of Yorkshire, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.
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 the rules say for East Riding of Yorkshire
In East Riding of Yorkshire, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your East Riding of Yorkshire building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Questions
Do you provide double fire doors across East Riding of Yorkshire?
Yes. We cover all of East Riding of Yorkshire, including Kingston upon Hull and Bridlington. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
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.
