Integral garage fire doors in Coleraine: what's involved
From the BT52 postcode district outwards, we take on integral garage fire doors across Coleraine for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Around Coleraine, houses with integral garages, small blocks of flats and small offices all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.
For homes in Coleraine with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing. If you are selling a home in Coleraine, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door.
What we fit
We fit a certified FD30S doorset or leaf with intumescent and smoke seals, a self-closer set to close and latch the door without slamming, and a threshold detail that keeps the smoke seal effective. We can match the style of your other internal doors where the certified range allows.
On a typical job that means:
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Certified FD30S door or doorset

Does the garage door need a closer?
Building control will normally expect the door between an integral garage and the house to be self-closing. We fit closers that shut and latch the door gently.
Does my garage door need to be a fire door?
If the garage is integral to the house, Approved Document B in England expects the connecting door to be a fire door with smoke control. Requirements in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are similar in purpose but set out in their own guidance.
