Double fire doors in Horley, done to the evidence
Looking for double fire doors in Horley? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Horley and the wider Surrey area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Around Horley, small blocks of flats, light industrial buildings and care homes all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Every pair we fit in Horley is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Horley care homes and schools that need occasional wide access.
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.
What you get:
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Closers matched to each leaf
Which fire door rules apply in Horley?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Horley 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 Horley 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.

Common questions
Do you work in Horley?
Yes, we take on double fire doors in Horley and the surrounding area, including Crawley and Redhill. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
