Fire door frames: our service in Morecambe
Our fire door frames service in Morecambe is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Fire doors in Morecambe protect escape routes in schools, low-rise blocks of flats and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We photograph every frame we fix in Morecambe before the architraves go on, so the hidden work is on record. Frame-to-wall gaps on Morecambe jobs are sealed with materials supported by the test evidence, as BS 8214:2026 sets out.
Frames on their own
Where a leaf is sound but the frame is not, a new compatible frame can sometimes be fitted to the existing leaf, provided the combination is supported by the leaf's certification. More often, a frame replacement is part of a doorset installation.
Each installation includes:
- Architraves and making good
- Fixing at specified centres with packing
- Frame-to-wall gap sealing with evidenced materials
- Photographs of fixing and sealing before covering

Can a new frame be fitted to my existing door?
Sometimes, if the frame is compatible with the door's certification. Often it is simpler and better evidenced to replace the whole doorset.
Can I use expanding foam around a fire door frame?
Only a fire-rated foam with evidence for that use and gap size. Ordinary expanding foam is not suitable.
