Double fire doors for Royton buildings
Our double fire doors service in Royton is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Royton protect escape routes in small offices, care homes and light industrial buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Every pair we fit in Royton is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Royton 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.
What you get:
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Closers matched to each leaf
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
What the rules say for Royton
England's framework applies in Royton. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in Royton, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Common questions
Do you cover OL2 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Royton including OL2, and nearby towns such as Chadderton and Oldham. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Royton building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
What does a door coordinator do?
It holds the leaf that must close second until the first leaf has shut, so rebated meeting edges close in the right order and both leaves latch. Without it, the pair can end up open or misaligned.
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.
