What double fire doors in Havant should include
Looking for double fire doors in Havant? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Havant and the wider Hampshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Fire doors in Havant protect escape routes in light industrial buildings, care homes and family homes after loft conversions alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Every pair we fit in Havant is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Havant 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Closers matched to each leaf
- Commissioning of closing sequence
The regulations behind fire doors in Havant
In Havant, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Havant building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.
Who needs double fire doors in Havant?
From office cores to care homes, the requirement for double fire doors in Havant comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Common questions
Is Havant within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Havant in Hampshire and neighbouring towns such as Waterlooville. There is no charge for the survey.
How quickly can you survey in Havant?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
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.
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.
