Double fire doors in Leytonstone

Double fire doors in Leytonstone, done to the evidence

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Leytonstone, we offer double fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

Fire doors in Leytonstone protect escape routes in student accommodation, clinics and hotels alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

Every pair we fit in Leytonstone is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Leytonstone care homes and schools that need occasional wide access.

Why pairs need extra care

The meeting stiles are the weak point of a pair. Gaps there must be controlled, both leaves need intumescent and smoke seals as specified, and if the meeting edges are rebated, a door coordinator is usually needed so the leaves close in the right order. If they close out of sequence, the door may not latch and will not perform as tested.

Each installation includes:

• Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
• Closers matched to each leaf
• Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
• Commissioning of closing sequence

Which fire door rules apply in Leytonstone?

The rules that apply to fire doors in Leytonstone 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.
