Double fire doors in Ruislip

Getting double fire doors right in Ruislip

When you book double fire doors in Ruislip, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.

In and around Ruislip, fire door work covers everything from care homes to hotels. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Ruislip take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Ruislip care homes and schools that need occasional wide access.

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.

Each installation includes:

• Commissioning of closing sequence
• Closers matched to each leaf
• Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
• Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
