Double fire doors for South Yorkshire buildings
We provide double fire doors across South Yorkshire, covering 8 towns and 43 postcode districts, including Sheffield, Rotherham and Doncaster.
Every pair we fit in South Yorkshire is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in South Yorkshire take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention.
Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in South Yorkshire can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
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.
Fire door law for South Yorkshire properties
Fire doors in South Yorkshire 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 South Yorkshire 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.

Common questions
Do you provide double fire doors across South Yorkshire?
Yes. We cover all of South Yorkshire, including Sheffield and Rotherham. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
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.
