Double fire doors: our service in Cleethorpes
When you book double fire doors in Cleethorpes, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Around Cleethorpes, small offices, care homes and houses with integral garages all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Cleethorpes take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Cleethorpes 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.
Each installation includes:
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Closers matched to each leaf
Rules and responsibilities in Cleethorpes
In Cleethorpes, 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 Cleethorpes 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.
Which buildings in Cleethorpes need double fire doors?
From office cores to schools, the requirement for double fire doors in Cleethorpes 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.

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