Flat entrance fire doors in Maldon, CM9

Flat entrance fire doors for Maldon buildings

From the CM9 postcode district outwards, we take on flat entrance fire doors across Maldon for homes, blocks and workplaces.

Maldon has a broad mix of buildings, including family homes after loft conversions, light industrial buildings and small offices, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

In a block of flats in Maldon, 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. Flat entrance door programmes in Maldon are scheduled around residents, with access agreed in advance and each flat left secure the same day.

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.

On a typical job that means:

• Viewer, numerals and security hardware within the certification
• Self-closer set to close and latch
• Resident liaison, photo record and certificate references
• Certified FD30S doorset in timber or composite
