Which office doors does this cover?

Hinged fire doors identified by the building's fire strategy, report or FRA — typically tenancy demising doors, stair, lobby and corridor doors, and doors to riser, comms or plant cupboards where they are required to be fire-resisting.

Can you work outside office hours?

Where the site allows, noisy work and doors on busy routes can be programmed for early mornings, evenings or weekends. The programme is agreed from the door list and building rules rather than a standard promised timescale.

Our access-control door does not close properly. Is that a fire door problem?

It can be. Maglocks, strikes and door hardware added for security sometimes stop a fire door closing and latching, or were fitted without regard to the doorset's evidence. We look at the door side; changes to the access-control system itself are coordinated with your security installer.

Who is responsible in a multi-let office building?

Responsibility is commonly split between the landlord or managing agent for common parts and each tenant for their own demise, depending on the lease and management arrangements. We price the doors the instructing party is responsible for and can quote separately for other parties.

Do you inspect the office fire doors?

Formal inspections and reports are arranged through an external specialist inspection partner. Parsec scopes, prices and carries out the repair, replacement and installation works, and may undertake a pre-works site assessment solely to confirm scope.

The Office Doors That Usually Matter

Which doors need to be fire-resisting, and to what rating, comes from the building's fire strategy and formal inspection or FRA findings. In most office buildings the list falls into a few recognisable groups.

Tenancy demising doors

Entrance doors between each tenancy and the common corridor or lobby, often with access control and a reception-facing finish.

Stair, lobby and corridor doors

Doors protecting stair cores and escape corridors — the highest-traffic openings and the ones most often propped open.

Riser, comms and plant cupboards

Service cupboard doors where required, frequently altered for cabling and left unlatched after maintenance visits.

Glazed doors and screens

Doors with vision panels or full glazing, where the glass, beads and glazing system must match the doorset's evidence.

Typical Office Findings

Closers removed or disconnected near kitchens, breakout areas and meeting rooms
Maglocks, strikes or readers fitted in a way that stops the door latching
Cable holes and trunking through leaves or frames without suitable sealing
Replacement glass or beads that do not match the doorset specification
Doors that bind or will not close after fit-outs, new floor finishes or frame movement
Painted-over or missing intumescent and smoke seals after redecoration

Security And Access Control

Office doors often have to secure a tenancy and still work as fire doors. The conflict is usually in the hardware: an electric lock that holds the door off its latch, a heavy maglock plate that fouls the stop, or an added deadlock on an escape route. We correct the door side — hinges, latching, closers, seals and fixings — and coordinate with your security installer on anything that changes the access-control system or its fire alarm release.

Repair, Replacement Or New Installation

Many findings on a sound, identifiable doorset are repairable. Replacement becomes the better route where the leaf or frame is badly damaged, has been heavily altered, or the construction cannot be established for an opening that needs it. Fit-outs that add new partitions or relocate doors may need new doorsets installed to the product's instructions.

Working Around An Occupied Office

We agree the sequence with the building manager or tenant contact before starting, so escape routes and entrances stay usable throughout.

Where you own or let the building and need to separate shared-area doors from tenant doors, see fire doors for commercial landlords.

Stair and lobby doors done one at a time, never a whole core at once
Noisy tasks programmed for early, late or weekend slots where allowed
Tenancy doors booked with each occupier in advance
Building induction, permits and contractor rules followed

Formal Inspection And Parsec's Role

If you need a formal door-by-door inspection and written report, we arrange it through an external specialist inspection partner. Parsec then scopes, prices and carries out the works — from that report, an existing report or an FRA action list. Any Parsec site assessment is only to confirm scope and measurements for our quotation.

Quotation And Close-Out Evidence

To quote, we need the report or action list, door references and locations, photographs of both faces and the hardware, and any building rules or working-hour limits. The quotation lists the action for each door, the components, making good, exclusions and VAT basis.

At completion we provide records against the same door references — what was done, which products were used, and any doors not accessed — so the building's fire safety file can be updated.
