Double fire doors: our service in Leeds
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Leeds, we offer double fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Fire doors in Leeds protect escape routes in hotels, schools and purpose-built blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Leeds take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Every pair we fit in Leeds is commissioned so both leaves close in the right order and latch.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Closers matched to each leaf
- Commissioning of closing sequence
Which fire door rules apply in Leeds?
The rules that apply to fire doors in Leeds 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 Leeds 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.
Who needs double fire doors in Leeds?
Landlords, managing agents, facilities teams and homeowners in Leeds can all commission double fire doors from us. The usual settings are hospitals and clinics and communal corridors, though single doors for office cores are just as welcome.

Questions
Is Leeds within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Leeds in West Yorkshire and neighbouring towns such as Morley. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Leeds 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.
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.
