Getting HMO fire doors right in Omagh
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Omagh, we offer HMO fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Omagh has a broad mix of buildings, including small offices, light industrial buildings and family homes after loft conversions, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
For HMO landlords in Omagh, fire door work often follows a licence application or a council inspection. We can price an HMO in Omagh directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back.
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.
What you get:
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals

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.
