HMO fire doors for Kingswinford buildings
If you need HMO fire doors in Kingswinford, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Kingswinford range from family homes after loft conversions to small offices and light industrial buildings. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
We can price an HMO in Kingswinford directly from the council's schedule of works and give you evidence to send back. Closers we fit in Kingswinford HMOs are set to close and latch without slamming, so tenants are less tempted to disconnect them.
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:
- Self-closers set to close without slamming
- FD30 or FD30S doors or doorsets
- Survey of bedroom, kitchen and stair doors
- Thumb-turn locks within the evidence where needed

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.
