Double fire doors for Mid Glamorgan buildings
For double fire doors anywhere in Mid Glamorgan, one team handles the survey, supply, installation and handover, covering Rhondda, Tonypandy, Bridgend and the rest of the county.
Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Mid Glamorgan care homes and schools that need occasional wide access. Every pair we fit in Mid Glamorgan is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch.
Mid Glamorgan has a mix of buildings, from purpose-built blocks to converted houses and commercial premises. We tailor the programme to the building, not the other way round.
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.
Which fire door rules apply in Mid Glamorgan?
Because Mid Glamorgan is in Wales, we work to the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales and to the Welsh version of Approved Document B. The responsible person duties under the Fire Safety Order 2005 still apply to workplaces and common parts.
England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in Mid Glamorgan comes from your fire risk assessment.

Common questions
Do you provide double fire doors across Mid Glamorgan?
Yes. We cover all of Mid Glamorgan, including Rhondda and Tonypandy. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
