Fire doors in Archway protect escape routes in restaurants, mixed-use office buildings and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For steel fire doors in Archway we order factory-prepared doorsets so the hardware matches the test evidence exactly. We anchor and seal steel frames in Archway 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.
Each installation includes:
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Powder-coated finishes
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
The regulations behind fire doors in Archway
The rules that apply to fire doors in Archway are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts. Enforcement of fire safety law in Archway sits with the London Fire Brigade.
Where a Archway block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
