Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Burngreave care homes and schools that need occasional wide access. Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Burngreave take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention.

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.

As standard, the work covers:

• Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
• Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
• Closers matched to each leaf
• Commissioning of closing sequence

The regulations behind fire doors in Burngreave

The rules that apply to fire doors in Burngreave 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 Burngreave 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.
