Steel fire doors in Cleckheaton, done to the evidence

Fire doors in Cleckheaton protect escape routes in schools, care homes and small blocks of flats 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 Cleckheaton often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. We anchor and seal steel frames in Cleckheaton buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered.
How installation differs from timber
Steel frames are fixed with the anchors and fixing centres the manufacturer specifies, and frames are often grouted or packed according to the instructions. Steel doors usually arrive with hinges and hardware preparations made in the factory, so the hardware set must be ordered correctly at the outset. BS 8214:2026 now covers steel, metal and composite doors as well as timber, including how to seal them to the surrounding structure.
What you get:
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Powder-coated finishes

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.

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.
