Steel fire doors in Hoddesdon, done to the evidence
If you need steel fire doors in Hoddesdon, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
In and around Hoddesdon, fire door work covers everything from care homes to family homes after loft conversions. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Hoddesdon often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. For steel fire doors in Hoddesdon we order factory-prepared doorsets so the hardware matches the test evidence exactly.
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:
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
