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.
Each installation includes:
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Intumescent strips and smoke seals
