Buildings in and around Bebington range from low-rise blocks of flats to family homes after loft conversions and high-street shops. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Bebington take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Bebington 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:

• Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
• Closers matched to each leaf
• Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
• Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
