Questions about school fire doors in Dorset
Will I get certificates for the doors fitted?
Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.
Do you cover the whole of Dorset?
Yes. We survey, supply and fit school fire doors across Dorset, including Bournemouth, Poole and Weymouth.
Can you work around tenants or staff?
Yes. We phase work in occupied buildings and keep escape routes available. Each door is planned to be removed and replaced the same day; if that isn't possible, the opening is made secure and we tell you in advance.
What size doors do care settings need?
Corridor doors often need leaf-and-a-half or wide single doorsets for beds and wheelchairs. We measure and propose clear widths that suit.
