Double fire doors in Evesham

Getting double fire doors right in Evesham

Looking for double fire doors in Evesham? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Evesham and the wider Worcestershire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Around Evesham, houses with integral garages, schools and family homes after loft conversions 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 Evesham care homes and schools that need occasional wide access. Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Evesham 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.

What you get:

• Closers matched to each leaf
• Equal pair or leaf-and-a-half doorsets
• Commissioning of closing sequence
• Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
