Double fire doors in West Glamorgan: what's involved
Our double fire doors service runs throughout West Glamorgan. Main towns include Swansea, Neath and Briton Ferry, and we cover the smaller places in between.
Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in West Glamorgan take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Every pair we fit in West Glamorgan is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch.
Fire door work in West Glamorgan spans housing providers with large estates, individual landlords, businesses and homeowners. We price every job from a survey, never from a list price alone, because the condition of the frames and the hardware makes a real difference.
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.
Fire door law for West Glamorgan properties
Because West Glamorgan is in Wales, we work to the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales and to the Welsh version of Approved Document B. The responsible person duties under the Fire Safety Order 2005 still apply to workplaces and common parts.
England's fire door checking rules for tall residential buildings do not apply in Wales, so the checking frequency for doors in West Glamorgan comes from your fire risk assessment.

Double fire doors questions
Do you provide double fire doors across West Glamorgan?
Yes. We cover all of West Glamorgan, including Swansea and Neath. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
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.
