What steel fire doors in Urmston should include
Our steel fire doors service in Urmston is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Buildings in and around Urmston range from schools to small blocks of flats 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.
For steel fire doors in Urmston we order factory-prepared doorsets so the hardware matches the test evidence exactly. We anchor and seal steel frames in Urmston 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:
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Powder-coated finishes
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
