Certified fire doorsets in Worthing, BN11

Getting certified fire doorsets right in Worthing

If you need certified fire doorsets in Worthing, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

Buildings in and around Worthing range from converted period houses to GP surgeries and purpose-built flats. 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 Worthing is handed over with its certificate reference and photographs of the frame fixing and gap sealing. Doorsets suit refurbishment programmes in Worthing, where several openings can be measured, ordered and fitted in one planned sequence.

What does third-party certification mean?

Third-party certification means an independent body has checked the product's test evidence and audits the factory that makes it. Certified products carry a label or plug on the door edge and a certificate you can check. Buyers often look for schemes such as BWF Certifire or BM TRADA Q-Mark when choosing products. Our guide to certified doorsets explains how to read the label and certificate.

What you get:

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