Certified fire doorsets in Craigavon, done to the evidence
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Craigavon, we offer certified fire doorsets with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Buildings in and around Craigavon range from low-rise blocks of flats to family homes after loft conversions and high-street shops. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Every doorset we fit in Craigavon is handed over with its certificate reference and photographs of the frame fixing and gap sealing. Doorsets suit refurbishment programmes in Craigavon, where several openings can be measured, ordered and fitted in one planned sequence.
Why choose a doorset over a door leaf?
A fire door's rating belongs to the assembly that was tested, not to the leaf on its own. When a certified leaf is hung in an old frame with mismatched hinges and seals, nobody can say with confidence how it will perform. A doorset arrives with the frame, gaps and ironmongery already matched, so the installer's job is to fix it correctly into the opening and seal it to the structure.
Doorsets also cut time on site, which matters in occupied buildings: less cutting, less dust and fewer return visits.
Each installation includes:
- Pre-hung, pre-machined doorsets where available
- Installation to the manufacturer's instructions
- Closer set-up and close-and-latch testing
- Certificate references and photo record per opening

Questions
Do you work in Craigavon?
Yes, we take on certified fire doorsets in Craigavon and the surrounding area, including Portadown and Lisburn. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
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.
Are doorsets more expensive than a leaf?
The product costs more, but the labour is often lower and the result is better evidenced. Where a frame would need replacing anyway, a doorset is usually the better value.
Do doorsets come painted?
They can be supplied primed, factory painted, veneered, laminated or with a composite skin, depending on the product. Factory finishes avoid painting over seals and labels on site.
