Questions about school fire doors in Birmingham
Can you work around tenants or staff in Birmingham?
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.

Every doorset is listed in your handover pack with the manufacturer's certificate reference, plus an installation record and photos.
Is the survey in Birmingham free?
Yes. We measure and schedule your doors at no cost and send a fixed, itemised quote.

Alarm-linked hold-open devices or free-swing closers remove the need to wedge doors and close them automatically in a fire.
