What double fire doors in Sunbury-on-Thames should include
Our double fire doors service in Sunbury-on-Thames is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Sunbury-on-Thames has a broad mix of buildings, including schools, light industrial buildings and small blocks of flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Sunbury-on-Thames take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Every pair we fit in Sunbury-on-Thames is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch.
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:
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Closers matched to each leaf
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Commissioning of closing sequence

Common questions
Is Sunbury-on-Thames within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Sunbury-on-Thames in Surrey and neighbouring towns such as Walton-on-Thames. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Sunbury-on-Thames building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
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.
