HMO fire doors for Burton upon Trent buildings
When you book HMO fire doors in Burton upon Trent, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Buildings in and around Burton upon Trent range from HMOs to offices and care homes. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Closers we fit in Burton upon Trent HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them. For HMO landlords in Burton upon Trent, 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Photo record for licensing and inspections
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Self-closers set to close without slamming

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.

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