Steel fire doors for Sandhurst buildings
Looking for steel fire doors in Sandhurst? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Sandhurst and the wider Berkshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Buildings in and around Sandhurst range from small offices to schools 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.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Sandhurst often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. We anchor and seal steel frames in Sandhurst buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered.
Security and finishes
Steel fire doors can combine fire resistance with security features such as heavier locks and anti-jemmy details, within the evidence. They are usually powder coated in a range of colours, which gives a hard-wearing finish for back-of-house areas.
On a typical job that means:
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
