Double fire doors in Keighley, done to the evidence
Looking for double fire doors in Keighley? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Keighley and the wider West Yorkshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Around Keighley, HMOs, schools and low-rise blocks of flats all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Keighley take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Keighley 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.
What you get:
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Closers matched to each leaf
Fire door law for Keighley properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Keighley are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.
Where a Keighley block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Common questions
Do you cover BD21 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Keighley including BD21, and nearby towns such as Shipley and Guiseley. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Keighley?
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.
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.
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.
