Double fire doors in Wolverhampton, done to the evidence
If you need double fire doors in Wolverhampton, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Wolverhampton has a broad mix of buildings, including clinics, shared houses and care homes, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Every pair we fit in Wolverhampton is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Wolverhampton care homes and schools that need occasional wide access.
Leaf-and-a-half for wider routes
Leaf-and-a-half doors give a usable everyday opening through the main leaf, with the smaller leaf opened for beds, trolleys or deliveries. They are common in care homes, hospitals and schools. The smaller leaf may be held with flush bolts; any bolts and their positions must be covered by the evidence.
On a typical job that means:
- Commissioning of closing sequence
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Closers matched to each leaf
Rules and responsibilities in Wolverhampton
England's framework applies in Wolverhampton. 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 Wolverhampton, 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.

Questions from Wolverhampton
Is Wolverhampton within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Wolverhampton in West Midlands and neighbouring towns such as Wednesfield. There is no charge for the survey.
What happens on a survey in Wolverhampton?
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.
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.
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.
