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.
What you get:
- Self-closer set to close and latch
- Certified FD30S doorset in timber or composite
- Resident liaison, photo record and certificate references
- Survey of door, frame, threshold and ironmongery

Questions
Do you work in Royal Leamington Spa?
Yes, we take on flat entrance fire doors in Royal Leamington Spa and the surrounding area, including Warwick and Kenilworth. Send your postcode and a few details and we'll come back with survey dates.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Royal Leamington Spa building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Can a flat door have a letterbox?
Only if the letterplate is covered by the doorset's test evidence. A standard letterplate cut into a fire door breaks the rating. Many managing agents choose external post boxes instead.
How long does a flat door replacement take?
Typically half a day per door, with the flat secure at the end of the visit. We agree access times with residents in advance and keep the corridor clear while we work.
