Another Day, Another great Fire Door Install by the team 🚪😊

This project involved resolving an existing double swing door set and replacing it with a new sign-action double fire door set, improving functionality, compliance and day-to-day usability for the end user.

We're really pleased with the finished result and would like to thank our loyal client for once again placing their trust in SN Carpentry. We hope they are as happy with the completed installation as we are.

A big thank you also goes to our supplier STOKE FIRE DOORS LIMITED who consistently delivers quality products and service and never lets us down.

Lets talk about Door Closers 🗣️

Choosing the right door closer isn’t just about the door 🚪 — it’s about the people using it 👥

Too often, closers are selected based on door type alone. But the building and environment matter just as much.

🏥 Care Homes & Healthcare

In environments with elderly or vulnerable users, this is critical.
👉 A cam action door closer (EN 1154 compliant) is usually the best option:
- Low opening force 💪
- Smooth, controlled closing
- Adjustable speed (to prevent slamming)

⚠️ We recently attended a project where a fast-closing door had been installed in a care setting. An elderly resident had their fingers trapped. Thankfully it wasn’t a serious injury — but it easily could have been.

🏫 Schools & Public Buildings

High traffic = durability needed
👉 Rack & pinion closers are commonly used
- Strong
- Reliable
- But still need correct adjustment ⚙️

🏢 Offices & Commercial

It’s about balance ⚖️
- Performance
- Aesthetics
👉 Often concealed closers or floor springs

🔥 Industrial / High-Risk Areas

Heavier doors = stronger control
👉 Higher power closers (EN 4–6)
- Essential for maintaining fire compartmentation

🚨 The takeaway

A door closer is a life safety device, not just ironmongery.
Getting it wrong can lead to:
❌ Injury
❌ Non-compliance
❌ Premature failure

At SN Carpentry, we always consider:
✔ Building use
✔ End users
✔ Fire safety
✔ BM TRADA Q-Mark compliance

If you’re unsure whether your fire doors are safe and compliant, it’s worth checking 👍

May is Mental Health Awareness Month 🧠

At SN Carpentry, we recognise that mental health is just as important as physical safety—especially in the construction industry, where pressures can often go unseen.

Taking the time to check in with colleagues, start conversations, and support one another can make a real difference. Whether it’s on-site or off, creating a positive and supportive environment is something we all have a part in.

This month is a reminder that it’s okay to talk, to ask for support, and to look out for those around us. 💚

Great to complete this installation of a bespoke double timber doorset, helping to create a clear division within an open-plan space.

As part of the project, we formed a new bulkhead above the doors to fully close off the opening, delivering a clean and seamless finish. The end result separates the reception area from the rest of the floor, improving both functionality and privacy while maintaining the overall look of the space.

With our work now complete, it’s over to the decorators to carry out the finishing touches and bring everything together.

Another tidy job completed to a high standard 👌

Where are the team on this sunny Monday? 🌞

Installing timber partitions on one of our projects in Oxford.

Great to see the layout taking shape as the framing goes in, creating defined spaces and preparing for the next stages of the build. A solid step forward in transforming this space.

Good Work Team!

Something a little bit different for us on this project. 🩵

We recently completed the installation of 6 fire doors within a domestic property in Solihull, working with client-supplied doors. These weren’t your standard fire doors — a really nice set of oak doors with glazed panels and quality ironmongery, adding a high-end finish while still meeting fire safety requirements.

It’s always a privilege to be trusted in someone’s home, especially when working with their chosen finishes and furnishings. Attention to detail is key on jobs like this, and we’re really pleased with how these have turned out.

A great looking set of doors and a happy client — exactly what we aim for every time. 🚪🏡🔨😊

🚨 Poor Fire Door Example – What’s Wrong Here?

At first glance, it’s “just a door.”

To a fire door installer, it’s a failure waiting to happen.
Common issues we still see on site:

❌ Door wedged open
❌ Excessive gaps (especially under the door)
❌ Damaged or missing intumescent strips
❌ Missing or disconnected self-closer

Any one of these defects can completely compromise the fire rating. A certified fire door set is only as good as its installation and ongoing maintenance.

For installers, this is why attention to detail matters:

✔ Correct gap tolerances
✔ Properly fitted hardware
✔ Intact seals
✔ Fully functioning self-closing mechanism

A fire door isn’t just a door — it’s a life safety system.

What’s the most common non-compliance you’re finding on inspections lately?
