Looking for steel fire doors in Crowborough? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Crowborough and the wider East Sussex area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
Around Crowborough, houses with integral garages, schools and care homes 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.
We anchor and seal steel frames in Crowborough buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered. Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Crowborough 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Powder-coated finishes
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
