Double fire doors: our service in Kidderminster
From the DY11 postcode district outwards, we take on double fire doors across Kidderminster for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Around Kidderminster, schools, high-street shops and industrial estates 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 Kidderminster take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Every pair we fit in Kidderminster 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.
What you get:
- Commissioning of closing sequence
- Closers matched to each leaf
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
Which fire door rules apply in Kidderminster?
In Kidderminster, as elsewhere in England, the starting point is the Fire Safety Order 2005: whoever controls a workplace or the shared parts of a residential block must make sure its fire doors work. When doors are replaced, the Building Regulations and Approved Document B set the standard the new work has to meet.
Blocks above 11 metres have a specific routine under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual best-endeavours checks of flat front doors. If your Kidderminster building is a higher-risk building under the Building Safety Act 2022, we confirm the approval route with the Principal Accountable Person before any work is ordered.

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.
