Double fire doors for Harrogate buildings
If you need double fire doors in Harrogate, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Harrogate has a broad mix of buildings, including schools, family homes after loft conversions and care homes, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Every pair we fit in Harrogate is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Harrogate 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Commissioning of closing sequence
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence

In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.

Questions
Do you work in Harrogate?
Yes, we take on double fire doors in Harrogate and the surrounding area, including Yeadon and Guiseley. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Harrogate?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
