What double fire doors in King's Lynn should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in King's Lynn, we offer double fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
In and around King's Lynn, fire door work covers everything from small blocks of flats to small offices. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Every pair we fit in King's Lynn is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for King's Lynn 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:
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Commissioning of closing sequence
- Closers matched to each leaf
What the rules say for King's Lynn
In King's Lynn, 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 King's Lynn 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.

Questions from King's Lynn
Do you cover PE30 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover King's Lynn including PE30, and nearby towns such as Wisbech and March. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my King's Lynn 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.
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.
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.
