Getting double fire doors right in Cleckheaton
If you need double fire doors in Cleckheaton, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Cleckheaton, fire door work covers everything from houses with integral garages to small offices. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Cleckheaton care homes and schools that need occasional wide access. Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Cleckheaton 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Commissioning of closing sequence
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets

Questions
Do you cover BD19 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Cleckheaton including BD19, and nearby towns such as Brighouse and Batley. The survey and written quote are free.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Cleckheaton 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.
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.
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.
