Double fire doors for Aldridge buildings
From the WS9 postcode district outwards, we take on double fire doors across Aldridge for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Aldridge has a broad mix of buildings, including small offices, light industrial buildings and houses with integral garages, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Aldridge take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Every pair we fit in Aldridge is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch.
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.
What you get:
- Commissioning of closing sequence
- Closers matched to each leaf
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated

Common questions
Do you work in Aldridge?
Yes, we take on double fire doors in Aldridge and the surrounding area, including Walsall and Bloxwich. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Aldridge building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
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.
