Buildings in and around Walton-on-Thames range from family homes after loft conversions to schools and light industrial buildings. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

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

Why pairs need extra care

The meeting stiles are the weak point of a pair. Gaps there must be controlled, both leaves need intumescent and smoke seals as specified, and if the meeting edges are rebated, a door coordinator is usually needed so the leaves close in the right order. If they close out of sequence, the door may not latch and will not perform as tested.

On a typical job that means:

• Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
• Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
• Closers matched to each leaf
• Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
