Door Hanging In Thirsk

I’m Robert, a City & Guilds qualified joiner offering professional door hanging and fire door installation services in Thirsk. With over 30 years’ experience, I specialise in fitting internal and external doors to a high standard — including certified fire doors for homes, landlords, and commercial buildings.

From timber and composite to heavy-duty metal and steel fire exit doors, I make sure every install is safe, precise, and built to last. Whether you need a single door replacing or a full set fitted as part of a refurbishment or fire safety upgrade, I’ll give you straightforward advice and a top-notch result.

Thirsk includes everything from modern new builds to older character properties. I adapt each install to suit the quirks and materials of the building — whether it's solid timber frames, out-of-square openings, or specialist fire-rated requirements.

Common Fire Door Failures

We know that fire doors are a crucial part of a building's passive fire, and that they need to be installed correctly to ensure they are effective. Here are some common fire door failures that you should be aware of.

These are the most common reasons fire doors fail inspections — and they’re all preventable with proper installation.

  • Poor fitting or physical damage to the door leaf

  • Excessive or uneven door gaps

  • Missing, damaged, or incorrectly adjusted door closer

  • Incorrect or non-compliant hinges and hardware

  • Missing, damaged, or poorly fitted intumescent seals

  • Incorrectly specified or untested glazing/vision panels
