What double fire doors in Yeadon should include
Our double fire doors service in Yeadon is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Around Yeadon, schools, small offices and small 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.
Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Yeadon care homes and schools that need occasional wide access. Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Yeadon take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention.
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.
On a typical job that means:
- Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
- Closers matched to each leaf
- Commissioning of closing sequence
