Getting steel fire doors right in Grantham
If you need steel fire doors in Grantham, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Grantham protect escape routes in schools, small offices and family homes after loft conversions alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We anchor and seal steel frames in Grantham buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered. Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Grantham 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.
Each installation includes:
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
