Double fire doors: our service in Coalville
We provide double fire doors in Coalville (LE67 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
In and around Coalville, fire door work covers everything from light industrial buildings to small blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Coalville take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Coalville 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.
Each installation includes:
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Commissioning of closing sequence
- Closers matched to each leaf
Which fire door rules apply in Coalville?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Coalville are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Coalville block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
Where double fire doors fit in Coalville
The need for double fire doors usually arises in office cores or care homes, and sometimes communal corridors. Each has its own pressures, such as residents at home or a building that must stay open, so we plan the sequence of work in Coalville to keep escape routes protected throughout.

Questions from Coalville
Is Coalville within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Coalville in Leicestershire and neighbouring towns such as Loughborough. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Coalville 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.
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.
