Double fire doors for Oxford buildings
Looking for double fire doors in Oxford? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Oxford and the wider Oxfordshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Fire doors in Oxford protect escape routes in GP surgeries, purpose-built flats and converted period houses alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Every pair we fit in Oxford is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Oxford care homes and schools that need occasional wide access.
Why pairs need extra care
The meeting stiles are the weak point of a pair. Gaps there must be controlled, both leaves need intumescent and smoke seals as specified, and if the meeting edges are rebated, a door coordinator is usually needed so the leaves close in the right order. If they close out of sequence, the door may not latch and will not perform as tested.
What you get:
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Closers matched to each leaf
What the rules say for Oxford
The rules that apply to fire doors in Oxford 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 Oxford 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.

Questions from Oxford
Do you work in Oxford?
Yes, we take on double fire doors in Oxford and the surrounding area, including Abingdon and Didcot. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Oxford?
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.
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.
