Fire-rated door packs make sourcing your fire door hardware easy. With everything you need for your timber fire door in a single kit, your fire door will look great, meet fire safety regulations, and you'll save time. Ideal for HMOs, offices or other public buildings, every product in our fire-rated door sets has been fire-tested and has a minimum fire resistance of sixty minutes.
The Importance of Fire Doors
A fire in your building can happen anywhere and at any time. And the results can be devastating. Having fire safety measures in place is so important, and the role of a fire door can't be overstated. Fire doors help to compartmentalise your building, buying people time and protecting assets.
Fire doors are essential to help keep people safe in the event of a fire, minimise property damage, and are a legal requirement for commercial buildings. By providing a barrier, they help to slow the spread of smoke, heat, and flame through a building, creating crucial evacuation time.
From January 2023, if you own or manage a multi-occupied residential building over 11 meters high in England, you must check all your fire doors quarterly and flat entrance doors annually.
Where are Fire Doors Needed?
Typically, fire doors are needed for fire escape routes, walls where compartmentalisation is required and in high-risk areas. To maintain their effectiveness, all fire doors should be regularly checked and maintained.
To help you with your fire door maintenance checks, the Guild of Architectural Ironmongers has recently created this helpful guide: GAI HAS CALLED poster.pdf
The GAI recommend you regularly check the following:
- Glazing & vision panels
- Apertures
- Intumescent fire & smoke seals
- Hinges
- Lever handles, pull handles & push plates
- Signage
- Door closer
- Air transfer grilles
- Labels
- Excess gaps
- Door leaf & frame condition
