Double fire doors in Haywards Heath, done to the evidence
We provide double fire doors in Haywards Heath (RH16 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Fire doors in Haywards Heath protect escape routes in family homes after loft conversions, care homes and small blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Every pair we fit in Haywards Heath is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Haywards Heath 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.
What you get:
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Commissioning of closing sequence
- Closers matched to each leaf
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets

Higher-risk buildings of at least 18 metres or seven storeys also come under the Building Safety Act 2022, where works may need approval from the Building Safety Regulator.

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.
Can double fire doors be held open?
Yes, with hold-open devices that release on the fire alarm, or with free-swing closers. Wedges and hooks are not acceptable.
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.
