What double fire doors in Warwick should include
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Warwick, we offer double fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Warwick protect escape routes in small offices, small blocks of flats and light industrial buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Warwick take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Every pair we fit in Warwick is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch.
Leaf-and-a-half for wider routes
Leaf-and-a-half doors give a usable everyday opening through the main leaf, with the smaller leaf opened for beds, trolleys or deliveries. They are common in care homes, hospitals and schools. The smaller leaf may be held with flush bolts; any bolts and their positions must be covered by the evidence.
Each installation includes:
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Closers matched to each leaf
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Commissioning of closing sequence
What the rules say for Warwick
The rules that apply to fire doors in Warwick 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 Warwick 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.

Questions
Do you work in Warwick?
Yes, we take on double fire doors in Warwick and the surrounding area, including Royal Leamington Spa and Kenilworth. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
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.
