Double fire doors for Mansfield buildings
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Mansfield, we offer double fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Mansfield protect escape routes in converted period houses, HMOs and offices alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Mansfield take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Mansfield 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.
What you get:
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Commissioning of closing sequence
Which fire door rules apply in Mansfield?
Fire doors in Mansfield fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. 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.
For residential buildings in Mansfield above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.
Which buildings in Mansfield need double fire doors?
From hospitals and clinics to care homes, the requirement for double fire doors in Mansfield comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Common questions
Is Mansfield within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Mansfield in Nottinghamshire and neighbouring towns such as Sutton in Ashfield. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Mansfield?
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.
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.
