Getting steel fire doors right in West Bromwich
Our steel fire doors service in West Bromwich is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.
Buildings in and around West Bromwich range from HMOs to purpose-built flats and converted period houses. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around West Bromwich often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. For steel fire doors in West Bromwich 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
- Powder-coated finishes
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware

Questions from West Bromwich

Do I need to be there for the survey?

Steel doorsets are usually made to order with factory-prepared hardware, so allow a few weeks. We confirm the lead time with your quote.

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.
