School fire doors in Accrington: questions
Can you fit just one door in Accrington?

Do you remove the old doors?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and frame is included when we replace a doorset in Accrington.
Can you work around tenants or staff in Accrington?
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.
Can we stop staff wedging fire doors open?
Alarm-linked hold-open devices or free-swing closers remove the need to wedge doors and close them automatically in a fire.
