FAQ About External Fire Doors

What is an external fire door?

An external fire door is an exterior door tested to resist fire and smoke for a set time, used at entrances, exits, and escape routes. It slows the spread of fire and protects people while still working as a secure, weatherproof outer door.

What do FD30 and FD60 mean?

FD30 and FD60 are fire ratings that show how long the door resists fire: 30 minutes for FD30 and 60 minutes for FD60. Choose the rating your building regulations or fire risk assessment requires for that location.

Are external fire doors a legal requirement?

In many cases, yes. Building regulations require fire doors in specific places such as flats, integral garages, commercial premises, and escape routes. Check Approved Document B or speak to building control to confirm what your project needs.

Are your external fire doors certified?

Yes. Our fire doors are certified to BWF Certifire and BS 476 Part 22 and supplied with the correct intumescent seals, so you have documented evidence of their fire performance.

Can external fire doors be glazed?

Yes. Glazed external fire doors use fire-resistant glass that keeps its integrity during a fire, letting in natural light while maintaining the FD30 or FD60 rating.

Do you supply external fire door sets?

Yes. We supply complete external fire door sets with the matching frame, seals, and ironmongery, so the whole assembly is fire-rated and easier to fit correctly. A fire door only performs as part of a properly installed set.

What sizes do external fire doors come in, and can they be made to measure?

We stock common UK standard sizes and make fire doors to measure for non-standard openings. Always order the correct size, as cutting a fire door beyond the manufacturer's limits can void its fire rating.

Do external fire doors need maintenance?

Yes. Fire doors should be inspected regularly to check that the seals, gaps, hinges, and closers are all in good order. Follow the manufacturer's guidance so the door performs as intended in a fire.
