HMO fire doors in Lisburn, done to the evidence
Our HMO fire doors service in Lisburn is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Lisburn has a broad mix of buildings, including high-street shops, industrial estates and low-rise blocks of flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Closers we fit in Lisburn HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them. For HMO landlords in Lisburn, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection.
Fitting around tenants
HMO work happens in people's homes. We agree access with you and your tenants, work room by room, and leave every bedroom lockable at the end of the day. Where thumb-turn locks are needed so occupants can get out without a key, we fit ones that are covered by the door's evidence.
As standard, the work covers:
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors

In many HMOs, yes, especially on bedroom and kitchen doors. Your council's schedule of works will say which doors need them.
