Steel fire doors in Bordon, done to the evidence
Looking for steel fire doors in Bordon? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Bordon and the wider Hampshire area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.
In and around Bordon, fire door work covers everything from schools to small blocks of flats. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Bordon often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. We anchor and seal steel frames in Bordon 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
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
Fire door law for Bordon properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Bordon 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.
Where a Bordon 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.
