Managing agents, landlords, schools, care providers, businesses and homeowners in County Antrim can all use one team for survey, supply, installation and evidence. We plan work around occupants and hand over a record for every door.
Doors that keep working
HMO doors take hard use: closers get disconnected, doors get wedged and seals get painted. We set closers so they close and latch without slamming, which makes tenants less likely to defeat them, and leave you photographs and product details you can show the council.

HMO fire doors questions
Do you provide HMO fire doors across County Antrim?
Yes. We cover all of County Antrim, including Lisburn and Newtownabbey. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Do HMO fire doors need closers?
In many HMOs, yes, especially on bedroom and kitchen doors. Your council's schedule of works will say which doors need them.
Can tenants lock their bedroom doors?
Yes, but they must be able to get out without a key, so thumb-turn locks on the inside are common. The lock must be covered by the door's evidence.
