Double fire doors in Stamford Hill: what's involved
If you need double fire doors in Stamford Hill, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Stamford Hill range from hotels to converted flats and schools. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Every pair we fit in Stamford Hill is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Stamford Hill care homes and schools that need occasional wide access.
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 you get:
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Commissioning of closing sequence
- Closers matched to each leaf
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence

Questions
Do you cover N16 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Stamford Hill including N16, and nearby towns such as Highbury and Tottenham. 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.
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.
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.
