Double fire doors: our service in Fleetwood
When you book double fire doors in Fleetwood, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Buildings in and around Fleetwood range from small blocks of flats to light industrial buildings and small offices. 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 Fleetwood is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Fleetwood 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Commissioning of closing sequence
What the rules say for Fleetwood
England's framework applies in Fleetwood. 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 Fleetwood, 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.

Questions
Do you cover FY7 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Fleetwood including FY7, and nearby towns such as Thornton-Cleveleys and Blackpool. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Fleetwood 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.
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.
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.
