Double fire doors in Kingswinford

Double fire doors in Kingswinford, done to the evidence

From the DY6 postcode district outwards, we take on double fire doors across Kingswinford for homes, blocks and workplaces.

Fire doors in Kingswinford protect escape routes in family homes after loft conversions, light industrial buildings and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Kingswinford care homes and schools that need occasional wide access. Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Kingswinford take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention.

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.

Each installation includes:

• Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
• Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
• Commissioning of closing sequence
• Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
