Steel fire doors in Jarrow, done to the evidence
We provide steel fire doors in Jarrow (NE32 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Fire doors in Jarrow protect escape routes in light industrial buildings, care homes and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We anchor and seal steel frames in Jarrow buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered. Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Jarrow 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.
What you get:
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes

Are steel fire doors better than timber?
Not better, just suited to different places. Steel doors are tougher and resist damp and impact, so they suit plant rooms and industrial areas. Timber doors are more common in residential and office interiors.
