Double fire doors: our service in Newport (Gwent)
From the NP20 postcode district outwards, we take on double fire doors across Newport (Gwent) for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Buildings in and around Newport (Gwent) range from schools to converted period houses and offices. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Newport (Gwent) care homes and schools that need occasional wide access. Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Newport (Gwent) take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Closers matched to each leaf
- Commissioning of closing sequence
Which fire door rules apply in Newport (Gwent)?
Newport (Gwent) is in Wales, where new and replacement fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 as applied in Wales, with the Welsh Approved Document B as guidance. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 also applies, so responsible persons in workplaces and the common parts of blocks must keep fire doors maintained.
One difference from England: regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, with its quarterly and annual fire door checks, does not apply in Wales. Your fire risk assessment sets the checking regime instead, and we work to it.

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.
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.
