Steel fire doors in Tamworth, done to the evidence
If you need steel fire doors in Tamworth, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Fire doors in Tamworth protect escape routes in low-rise blocks of flats, industrial estates and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Tamworth often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. For steel fire doors in Tamworth we order factory-prepared doorsets so the hardware matches the test evidence exactly.
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.
Each installation includes:
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions

They are usually supplied powder coated. Repainting on site is possible but must avoid covering seals and labels, and should follow the manufacturer's guidance.
