For hotels and serviced apartments
Our hotel fire door replacement in London swaps damaged guest room and corridor doors in small batches. No more than a couple of rooms are off sale at once, and each one is back in use the same day.
Replacing doors in hotels
Hotel doors are struck by luggage, trolleys and the odd unhappy guest. Most damage can be repaired, but some doors split or warp beyond saving.
Hotel fire door replacement swaps just those doors. The rest of the corridor stays as it is, and the new door is matched to fit in.
We group failed doors into small batches, agreed with your reservations team. Each batch is fitted on a quiet day.
Rooms come off sale in the morning and go back on sale by the afternoon. Guests nearby hear little more than a vacuum cleaner.
Own other buildings that need new doors? Our fire door replacement service in London covers homes, offices and blocks.
Planning a room refurbishment? A full hotel fire door installation may be better than swapping doors one at a time.
Repair or replace?
Your maintenance team can use these questions to decide which doors to report for replacement.
What we fit
Each new door should look and sound like the rest of the floor. We match these points every time.
Paint, laminate or veneer chosen to sit well beside the existing doors.
Moved across if it suits the new door, or renewed.
Set so the door closes gently and latches every time, with no bang to wake guests.
Fitted all round to keep smoke out of the room.
Room numbers and fire door signs refitted.
The bottom gap is set to suit the carpet, so the door closes freely and still seals.
How it works
Every batch is planned with your front desk.
From an inspection or your maintenance team.
We measure each door and match finish and hardware.
Two to five rooms at a time, on quieter days.
Each door tested and the room handed back the same afternoon.
Other buildings
Replacement doors for other buildings too.
Track progress
A simple tracker shows which rooms are done, in progress or booked, so housekeeping and reservations always know where things stand.
Signs of a failed door
These are the reasons hotel doors most often go beyond repair.
Room service and housekeeping trolleys hit the same spot every day until the edge splits.
Larger cut-outs made for new key card locks.
Doors forced open in an emergency or by a locked-out guest often split at the frame.
Leaks from bathrooms swell the bottom of the door.
Old fittings removed and left as open holes through the door.
Doors cut down too far.

What hotel owners and managers ask about replacing doors.
A supplied and fitted FD30S doorset usually costs £550–£950, before VAT. Where the frame is still good, a matched leaf is around £350–£650. Special finishes and new key card locks add to the price. Larger batches lower the price per door, and taking away the old doors is included.
Usually just a few hours. We start in the morning after check-out and finish in the early afternoon. The room is cleaned and back on sale before evening check-in. If a door is made to measure, we only take the room off sale once the new door has arrived. Guests in nearby rooms are not disturbed.
We match paint and laminate closely, and choose the nearest veneer to your existing doors. Room numbers, handles and signs are refitted or matched, so the new door fits in with the corridor. If your hotel has a style guide, we follow it, so the new doors fit in with your brand.
Often, yes, if the lock suits the new door’s test evidence. Reusing locks saves money. If a lock is old or does not suit the door, we fit a new one that works with your system. We work with your lock supplier if new locks need setting up on your system.
Hotel doors are opened and closed far more often than doors at home. They are also hit by luggage, trolleys and cleaning carts every day. Kick plates and edge guards can help reduce damage. Regular servicing also catches loose hinges and closers before they cause bigger damage.
Small dents, loose seals and slamming doors can usually be repaired. If the edge is split into the core, the face is cracked through or the door has warped, it should be replaced. We look at each door and tell you which option is safer and better value. A sound door is always faster to fix than to replace.
Usually two to five, depending on the doors and your bookings. We agree batch sizes with your reservations team, so you never have too many rooms off sale at once. If the hotel has a quiet period, larger batches are possible, which can shorten the whole programme.
The same as the door it replaces, which for guest rooms is usually FD30S. Some doors to stairs or plant rooms may be FD60. The building’s fire strategy decides each door’s rating. The new door should never be rated lower than the old one.
Yes. Old doors are removed the same day, so there is nothing left in corridors or service areas. Removal is included in the price. We also clean up after each door, so housekeeping can prepare the room straight away. Old doors are sent for recycling where possible.
You get a batch tracker, photos of each new door and its label, and fitting notes. These go in your fire safety file and show inspectors the doors were replaced properly. Copies can also go to head office or your fire risk assessor, so everyone has the same records.
