HMO fire doors: our service in Newtownabbey
If you need HMO fire doors in Newtownabbey, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Newtownabbey protect escape routes in low-rise blocks of flats, industrial estates and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Closers we fit in Newtownabbey HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them. For HMO landlords in Newtownabbey, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection.
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.
What you get:
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
The regulations behind fire doors in Newtownabbey
Newtownabbey is in Northern Ireland, where fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 and Technical Booklet E on fire safety. Duties in non-domestic premises come from the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010.
The English regulation 10 checking regime does not apply here, so the fire risk assessment sets how often doors in Newtownabbey are checked. We hand over evidence that supports it.

Common questions
Do you cover BT37 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Newtownabbey including BT37, and nearby towns such as Belfast and Carrickfergus. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Newtownabbey?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
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.
Can you work to a council schedule of works?
Yes. Send us the schedule and we will price each item, carry out the work and give you evidence to send back.
