Steel fire doors for Newry buildings
Our steel fire doors service covers Newry and the wider County Down area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Fire doors in Newry protect escape routes in small blocks of flats, small offices and houses with integral garages alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We anchor and seal steel frames in Newry buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered. Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Newry often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Powder-coated finishes
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes

Do steel fire doors need intumescent seals?
Some steel doorsets use intumescent seals and some do not, depending on how they were tested. The certification sets out exactly what is required.
Are steel fire doors better than timber?
Not better, just suited to different places. Steel doors are tougher and resist damp and impact, so they suit plant rooms and industrial areas. Timber doors are more common in residential and office interiors.
