Guest-room doors
Frequently used doors between sleeping rooms and corridors, with closing, latching, security hardware, seals, gaps and alterations considered together.
Guest Accommodation
Fire Doors for Hotels, B&Bs & Guest Houses
Parsec Fire Doors repairs and replaces doorsets and components in staffed guest accommodation, planning the work around room access, guests and working escape routes. Formal inspections and reports are arranged separately through an external specialist inspection partner.
Door Openings Across Guest Accommodation
This service is concerned specifically with fire-resisting doorsets and the openings they protect. The building's fire strategy and formal inspection findings determine which doors require which performance; we do not assume that every internal door has the same role.
Corridors and stairs
Doors protecting circulation and escape routes, including pairs and cross-corridor openings where closing sequence and meeting stiles can matter.
Kitchens and service areas
Relevant openings to kitchens, stores, plant, laundry or back-of-house spaces where identified by the building strategy or report.
Staff and ancillary rooms
Office, store and service doors addressed where they form part of the documented fire separation for the premises.
Formal Inspection And Parsec's Works Role
Where the premises needs a formal door-by-door inspection and written report, we arrange that through an external specialist fire door inspection partner. The report identifies findings and priorities independently of the repair and replacement work.
Parsec works from that report, from an existing report or from an FRA action list to scope and deliver remedial works, repairs and replacement. We may carry out a pre-works site assessment to verify access, dimensions and the work needed for a quotation, but that assessment is not a formal inspection report.
Repair Or Replacement, Opening By Opening
A failed item does not automatically require a new doorset. On a known, otherwise sound assembly, closer faults, alignment, seals, hinges, latching and some local damage may be repairable. The decision depends on the supported construction, condition and extent of alteration.
Replacement may be the sounder route where the leaf or frame is substantially damaged, identity cannot be established for a critical opening, an unsupported aperture has been introduced or the required performance cannot reasonably be restored. The quotation should state the reason against each door reference.
- Keep repairs and complete replacement doorsets as separate schedule lines
- Identify frame, liner and perimeter work rather than pricing the leaf alone
- Specify compatible seals, hinges, closers, locks and latches
- Record guest-room security and keyless escape requirements from the agreed brief
- Include making good, decoration and disposal or name them as exclusions
- Retain unresolved and no-access doors on the schedule until closed out
Sequencing Work Around Guests And Operations
Room doors require controlled access, while corridor and stair doors may affect routes used throughout the day. We agree a programme with the hotel or property team, grouping work by floor or zone and coordinating with the room-status information supplied by the operator.
The plan should identify rooms that can be released, check-in and housekeeping constraints, noisy or dusty operations, protected routes that must remain usable and how incomplete openings are secured. We do not publish a standard completion promise because the door mix and access plan determine the programme.
- Named site contact and daily room-access list
- Guest communication and room release managed by the operator
- Work zones agreed around check-in, housekeeping and service movements
- Escape routes kept usable through deliberate sequencing
- No-access rooms recorded for an agreed return round
- Each completed opening checked before the room or area is handed back
Quote Inputs And Handover Records
A usable enquiry links every item to a room number or location. Send the existing formal report or FRA action list, door schedule, photographs, known specifications and finish requirements, together with access limits and the number of rooms available in each work period.
The written scope should define the repair or replacement action, products and components, frame and perimeter work, making good, decoration, disposal, access assumptions, exclusions and VAT basis. Completion records should follow the same door references so finished, no-access and outstanding items remain clear.
