Steel fire doors for Droitwich buildings
When you book steel fire doors in Droitwich, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
In and around Droitwich, fire door work covers everything from schools to family homes after loft conversions. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
We anchor and seal steel frames in Droitwich buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered. Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Droitwich often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp.
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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Powder-coated finishes
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
