Double fire doors for West Midlands buildings
We provide double fire doors across West Midlands, covering 24 towns and 95 postcode districts, including Birmingham, Coventry and Wolverhampton.
Every pair we fit in West Midlands is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in West Midlands take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention.
Wherever your building is in West Midlands, the fire safety duties come from national rules, and our installation standard is the same.
Why pairs need extra care
The meeting stiles are the weak point of a pair. Gaps there must be controlled, both leaves need intumescent and smoke seals as specified, and if the meeting edges are rebated, a door coordinator is usually needed so the leaves close in the right order. If they close out of sequence, the door may not latch and will not perform as tested.
The regulations behind fire doors in West Midlands
In West Midlands, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your West Midlands building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

Common questions
Do you provide double fire doors across West Midlands?
Yes. We cover all of West Midlands, including Birmingham and Coventry. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
