Double fire doors in Coventry

Double fire doors in Coventry, done to the evidence

Looking for double fire doors in Coventry? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Coventry and the wider West Midlands area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Buildings in and around Coventry range from purpose-built blocks of flats to clinics and care homes. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Coventry take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Coventry 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:

• Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
• Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
• Commissioning of closing sequence
• Closers matched to each leaf

What the rules say for Coventry

England's framework applies in Coventry. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.

For blocks over 11 metres in Coventry, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
