Double fire doors in Enfield Town: what's involved
Looking for double fire doors in Enfield Town? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Enfield Town and the wider Greater London area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Fire doors in Enfield Town protect escape routes in restaurants, converted flats and mixed-use office buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Enfield Town take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Every pair we fit in Enfield Town is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Closers matched to each leaf
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
Which fire door rules apply in Enfield Town?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Enfield Town 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. Enforcement of fire safety law in Enfield Town sits with the London Fire Brigade.
Where a Enfield Town 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.
Who needs double fire doors in Enfield Town?
From office cores to hospitals and clinics, the requirement for double fire doors in Enfield Town comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Common questions
Do you work in Enfield Town?
Yes, we take on double fire doors in Enfield Town and the surrounding area, including Edmonton and Tottenham. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
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.
Do both leaves need closers?
Usually, yes. Each leaf of a fire door pair needs to close itself. The closers are sized to each leaf's width and weight.
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.
