Certified fire doorsets in Kingswinford, done to the evidence

In and around Kingswinford, fire door work covers everything from family homes after loft conversions to small blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

Pre-hung doorsets keep disruption down in occupied buildings in Kingswinford, with less cutting and fewer return visits. Every doorset we fit in Kingswinford is handed over with its certificate reference and photographs of the frame fixing and gap sealing.

How is a doorset installed?

The opening is prepared to the size and tolerances in the manufacturer's instructions. The frame is fixed with the specified fixings at the specified centres, packed where needed, and checked for square, plumb and twist. The gap between frame and wall is then sealed with a material covered by the evidence, which BS 8214:2026 now describes in more detail. Finally the leaf is adjusted, the closer is set and the assembly is tested before the architraves go on.

As standard, the work covers:

• Closer set-up and close-and-latch testing
• Frame fixing and frame-to-wall gap sealing
• Pre-hung, pre-machined doorsets where available
• Certificate references and photo record per opening
