Fire Door Installation in Northampton

We provide fire door installations for buildings in Northampton and the NN1 postcode district, from single doors to whole blocks and estates.

Fire door installation is the supply and fitting of a fire-resisting door, ideally as a complete doorset of leaf, frame, seals and hardware, installed exactly as its test evidence and the manufacturer's instructions require, so the finished door performs as tested.

Fire Door Installation in Northampton: questions

Do you work in occupied buildings in Northampton?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Northampton can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.

What do FD30 and FD60 mean?

They describe how long the door is designed to resist fire in a test: 30 or 60 minutes. An S after the rating, such as FD30S, means the door also controls the passage of cold smoke.

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Northampton?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Northampton is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

Can you fit a fire door into the existing frame?

Sometimes, if the frame is sound, compatible with the new leaf and the leaf's evidence allows it. Often a complete doorset is cheaper over the door's life and easier to evidence.
