Even a certified fire door will fail if it is installed incorrectly. Common installation failures include:

Allowing smoke and fire to spread rapidly.

Poorly fitted intumescent seals

Reducing fire resistance and protection.

Non-compliant hinges, closers, or locks

Leading to early door failure.

Insufficient fire stopping around the frame

Leaving hidden gaps that compromise safety

Incorrect fire door installation can invalidate certification and put lives at risk.

FD30 & FD60 Fire Door Installation

FD30 Fire Doors (30-Minute Fire Resistance)

FD30 fire doors are designed to resist fire and smoke for a minimum of 30 minutes. They are most commonly used in:

 

  • Residential properties and houses

  • Flat entrance doors

  • Offices and low- to medium-risk commercial buildings

  • Escape routes and corridors

 

FD30 fire doors help slow the spread of fire and smoke, allowing occupants sufficient time to evacuate safely and assisting fire services in gaining control of the fire.

FD60 fire doors (60-minute fire resistance)

FD60 fire doors provide a higher level of protection, resisting fire and smoke for up to 60 minutes. These doors are typically required in:

 

  • High-risk or high-occupancy buildings

  • Commercial and industrial premises

  • Plant rooms and service areas

  • Buildings with extended escape routes

 

FD60 fire doors offer enhanced protection, helping to contain fire for longer periods and reduce structural damage.
