Flat entrance fire doors: our service in Newry
Looking for flat entrance fire doors in Newry? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Newry and the wider County Down area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Newry has a broad mix of buildings, including light industrial buildings, small offices and small blocks of flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
In a block of flats in Newry, each flat's front door is what keeps smoke out of the shared corridor, which is why a working closer matters as much as the door. We work with freeholders, managing agents and individual leaseholders in Newry, whoever is responsible for the doors under the lease.
What goes into a compliant flat entrance doorset?
We fit certified FD30S doorsets with intumescent and smoke seals, a self-closing device that closes and latches the door from any angle, fire-tested hinges and a lock or latch covered by the certification. Door viewers, spy holes, letterplates, numerals and security hardware can only be fitted if they are part of the doorset's evidence. Where residents want a letterplate, we use one that is covered by the test evidence or recommend a separate post box.
As standard, the work covers:
- Intumescent and smoke seals, threshold set to evidence
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within the certification
- Self-closer set to close and latch
- Survey of door, frame, threshold and ironmongery

Common questions
Do you cover BT35 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Newry including BT35, and nearby towns such as Portadown and Craigavon. The survey and written quote are free.
How quickly can you survey in Newry?
It depends on the number of doors and access, but we offer survey dates as soon as we reply to your enquiry. If an inspection has found urgent safety issues, tell us and we'll prioritise.
Who is responsible for replacing flat front doors?
It depends on the lease. Sometimes the leaseholder owns the door, sometimes the freeholder does. Either way, the replacement has to meet the building's fire strategy, so we can work with whoever commissions it.
Can residents choose the colour of their front door?
Often, within the range the doorset manufacturer offers and within any rules the freeholder sets for the corridor. Factory finishes are better than site painting, which can clog seals and hide labels.
