What double fire doors in Neath should include
From the SA10 postcode district outwards, we take on double fire doors across Neath for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Neath has a broad mix of buildings, including family homes after loft conversions, schools and care homes, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Every pair we fit in Neath is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Neath 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.
Each installation includes:
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Closers matched to each leaf
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Commissioning of closing sequence
What the rules say for Neath
Neath is in Wales, where new and replacement fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 as applied in Wales, with the Welsh Approved Document B as guidance. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 also applies, so responsible persons in workplaces and the common parts of blocks must keep fire doors maintained.
One difference from England: regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, with its quarterly and annual fire door checks, does not apply in Wales. Your fire risk assessment sets the checking regime instead, and we work to it.
Which buildings in Neath need double fire doors?

Common questions
Do you work in Neath?
Yes, we take on double fire doors in Neath and the surrounding area, including Briton Ferry and Swansea. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
What happens on a survey in Neath?
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.
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.
