Double fire doors for Morley buildings
Our double fire doors service in Morley is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Around Morley, houses with integral garages, high-street shops 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 Morley take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Every pair we fit in Morley 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:
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Commissioning of closing sequence
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
Rules and responsibilities in Morley
Fire doors in Morley fall under English rules. New and replacement doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B. In workplaces and the common parts of blocks, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as clarified by the Fire Safety Act 2021, puts the duty on the responsible person to keep fire doors suitable and maintained.
For residential buildings in Morley above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 adds checks: communal fire doors at least every three months and best-endeavours checks of flat entrance doors at least every twelve months. 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.

Common questions
Do you cover LS27 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Morley including LS27, and nearby towns such as Batley and Dewsbury. The survey and written quote are free.
Do I need to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to give us access to the doors. For blocks and commercial buildings, a caretaker or site contact is fine; for HMOs and homes, we agree a time with you or your tenants.
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.
