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.
What you get:

- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Commissioning of closing sequence

Questions
Do you work in Kirkby in Ashfield?
Yes, we take on double fire doors in Kirkby in Ashfield and the surrounding area, including Sutton in Ashfield and Mansfield. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Kirkby in Ashfield 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.
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.
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.
