Why the garage door matters
Fires that start in garages can grow quickly and fill a hallway with smoke. The door between the garage and the house is the barrier that buys time for everyone inside to get out. It is one of the few doors inside a home that is expected to be both fire-rated and self-closing, and it often has a step or threshold that needs careful detailing.
What you get:
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
Rules and responsibilities in Farnborough

Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
