Frequently Asked Questions
A fire door is a specially designed door assembly that helps prevent the spread of fire and smoke between different areas of a building for a specified period of time.
Look for: • A certification label or plug on the top edge or hinge side. • Intumescent seals around the frame or door edge. • Fire-rated hinges and hardware. • Documentation showing its fire rating.
• FD30: Provides approximately 30 minutes of fire resistance. • FD60: Provides approximately 60 minutes of fire resistance. • The number indicates the tested fire-resistance period.
Generally, no. Fire doors should remain closed unless fitted with an approved fire-door retention device that releases automatically when the fire alarm activates.
Self-closers ensure the door closes automatically after use, maintaining the fire compartmentation needed to slow the spread of fire and smoke.
No. Removing or disabling a self-closer usually compromises the fire door’s effectiveness and may breach fire safety regulations.
Best practice is: • Regular visual checks by building staff. • More detailed inspections at least every 6 months, or more frequently in high-use areas.
Inspect: • Door condition and damage. • Gaps around the door. • Intumescent and smoke seals. • Hinges and hardware. • Self-closing operation. • Glazing and vision panels. • Certification markings.
These seals expand when exposed to heat, helping close gaps around the door and slowing the spread of fire and smoke.
Only if approved and carried out according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Unauthorised modifications can invalidate the fire rating.
Only if the product is specifically tested and certified for use in that fire door assembly.
Requirements vary by manufacturer and certification, but typical gaps are: • Around 3–4 mm at the sides and top. • A larger threshold gap may be permitted depending on the door specification.
In many cases, yes, particularly: • Between a house and an integral garage. • In flats and apartment buildings. • On protected escape routes. Requirements depend on local building regulations.
Minor issues may be repairable, but significant damage can compromise performance and should be assessed by a competent fire-door specialist.
A fire door is tested and certified as a complete assembly to resist fire and smoke for a specified period. A standard door is not.
Some do. For example: • FD30S and FD60S doors provide fire resistance plus smoke control. • The “S” indicates smoke protection.
This depends on the building, but responsibility commonly falls to: • Building owners. • Responsible persons under fire safety legislation. • Facilities managers. • Landlords or managing agents.
There is no fixed lifespan. A fire door can remain compliant for many years if properly maintained, inspected, and repaired when necessary.
No. Ironmongery (locks, latches, hinges, handles, closers) should be fire-rated and compatible with the door’s certification.
The door may require: • Adjustment. • Repair. • Replacement of seals or hardware. • Full replacement if compliance cannot be restored.
