Double fire doors in Kenilworth, done to the evidence
From the CV8 postcode district outwards, we take on double fire doors across Kenilworth for homes, blocks and workplaces.
In and around Kenilworth, fire door work covers everything from care homes to family homes after loft conversions. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Every pair we fit in Kenilworth is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Kenilworth care homes and schools that need occasional wide access.
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:
- Commissioning of closing sequence
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Closers matched to each leaf
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
Fire door law for Kenilworth properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Kenilworth 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 Kenilworth 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.
Where double fire doors fit in Kenilworth
From communal corridors to office cores, the requirement for double fire doors in Kenilworth comes from the fire strategy or risk assessment for the building. We work from that document, or help you interpret your inspection report, before quoting.

Questions from Kenilworth
Is Kenilworth within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Kenilworth in Warwickshire and neighbouring towns such as Warwick. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Kenilworth?
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.
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.
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.
