Fire exit doors in Dagenham

What fire exit doors in Dagenham should include

Our fire exit doors service covers Dagenham and the wider Greater London area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.

Around Dagenham, shared houses, schools and converted flats 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.

Exit doors in Dagenham can be fitted with outside access and alarm options that never stop people getting out. Shops, warehouses and schools in Dagenham each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency.

Is every fire exit door a fire door?

Not necessarily. A final exit door leading straight outside often does not need fire resistance, but it must open easily in the direction of escape and be secure the rest of the time. If the exit door also sits in a wall that the fire strategy requires to resist fire, it needs to be a certified fire doorset as well. We check which applies before quoting, so you do not pay for fire resistance you do not need, or miss it where you do.

What you get:

• Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
• Weather and threshold detailing
• Assessment of whether fire resistance is required
• Commissioning and handover
