Double fire doors in Darlington

Double & Leaf-and-a-Half Fire Doors for Darlington buildings

Surveys in Darlington are booked around your access needs, and we cover the wider County Durham area too.

Which rules apply in Darlington?

Blocks with a storey above 11 metres also fall under regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022: communal fire doors checked at least every three months, flat front doors at least every year.

Your questions answered

Do you remove the old doors?

Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Darlington.

Yes. We measure and schedule your doors at no cost and send a fixed, itemised quote.

Will I get certificates for the doors fitted in Darlington?

Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.

Why does my double fire door not close properly?

Usually the door selector is missing or out of adjustment, or the leaves have dropped. Pairs need the inactive leaf to close first.
