Fire exit doors in Cleckheaton, done to the evidence

We provide fire exit doors in Cleckheaton (BD19 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.

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

Before quoting for an exit door in Cleckheaton, we check whether it needs fire resistance, so you only pay for what the strategy requires. Exit doors in Cleckheaton can be fitted with outside access and alarm options that never stop people getting out.

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.

On a typical job that means:

• Outside access devices and alarmed options
• BS EN 1125 panic hardware or BS EN 179 emergency hardware
• Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
• Weather and threshold detailing
