Double fire doors in Bedworth

Double fire doors: our service in Bedworth

Our double fire doors service in Bedworth is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.

In and around Bedworth, fire door work covers everything from small offices to houses with integral garages. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Bedworth care homes and schools that need occasional wide access. Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Bedworth 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.

Each installation includes:

• Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
• Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
• Closers matched to each leaf
• Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence

Fire door law for Bedworth properties

England's framework applies in Bedworth. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.

For blocks over 11 metres in Bedworth, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
