What's involved with fire-rated glazed doors in Swadlincote

- Ironmongery compatible with the door evidence
- Fully glazed steel and aluminium doors within screens
- Hold-open devices linked to the alarm where specified
What to check before ordering fire-rated glazed doors in Swadlincote
Escape route doors
Doors that subdivide corridors and doors that swing both ways normally need vision panels, and integrity-only glass in doors may be limited by building guidance on escape routes.
Doorset, not just a door
The safest route is a complete doorset with frame and hardware tested together. Mixing a leaf from one source with a frame from another needs evidence that covers the combination.
Closers and gaps
Self-closing devices and correct gaps are part of the performance. We set them at installation and record them.
