What double fire doors in Camberley should include
If you need double fire doors in Camberley, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Camberley range from family homes after loft conversions to care homes and schools. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Camberley care homes and schools that need occasional wide access. Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Camberley take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention.
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:
- Closers matched to each leaf
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Commissioning of closing sequence
What the rules say for Camberley
Fire doors in Camberley 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.

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 cover GU15 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Camberley including GU15, and nearby towns such as Sandhurst and Farnborough. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Camberley?
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.
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.
