Getting double fire doors right in North Yorkshire
Whether your building is in York, Middlesbrough or a smaller place in North Yorkshire, we can provide double fire doors with the same evidence-led approach.
Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in North Yorkshire take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for North Yorkshire care homes and schools that need occasional wide access.
Fire door work in North Yorkshire spans housing providers with large estates, individual landlords, businesses and homeowners. We price every job from a survey, never from a list price alone, because the condition of the frames and the hardware makes a real difference.
Leaf-and-a-half for wider routes
Leaf-and-a-half doors give a usable everyday opening through the main leaf, with the smaller leaf opened for beds, trolleys or deliveries. They are common in care homes, hospitals and schools. The smaller leaf may be held with flush bolts; any bolts and their positions must be covered by the evidence.
Rules and responsibilities in North Yorkshire
The rules that apply to fire doors in North Yorkshire 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 North Yorkshire 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.

Double fire doors questions
Do you provide double fire doors across North Yorkshire?
Yes. We cover all of North Yorkshire, including York and Middlesbrough. 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.
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.
