Buildings in and around Royal Leamington Spa range from low-rise blocks of flats to high-street shops and family homes after loft conversions. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

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

On a typical job that means:

• Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
• Commissioning of closing sequence
• Closers matched to each leaf
• Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
