Steel fire doors for Lichfield buildings
Our steel fire doors service covers Lichfield and the wider Staffordshire area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Fire doors in Lichfield protect escape routes in small offices, family homes after loft conversions and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
For steel fire doors in Lichfield we order factory-prepared doorsets so the hardware matches the test evidence exactly. We anchor and seal steel frames in Lichfield buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered.
Where steel fire doors are the better choice
Steel doorsets cope with impact, damp and rough handling better than most timber doors. They are a natural fit for plant and boiler rooms, refuse stores, car park lobbies, workshops and warehouses. Many steel doorsets are available in ratings of 60 minutes and beyond where the test evidence supports it, which suits the higher-rated walls around plant spaces.
What you get:
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
- Powder-coated finishes
- Single and double steel doorsets
