What to check before you buy
Composite doors vary widely. The certification must cover the whole doorset as supplied: the core, skin, frame, glazing, letterplate, viewer and every item of hardware. Ask to see the certificate and the installation instructions, and check that the door's configuration, such as a side panel or glazed panel, is actually covered. BS 8214:2026 now includes maintenance guidance for composite and metal doors, reflecting how common they have become.

Questions
Do you provide composite fire doors across Dumfries & Galloway?
Yes. We cover all of Dumfries & Galloway. Surveys and written quotes are free.
Do composite fire doors need a closer?
Yes, as flat entrance doors they need a self-closing device that closes and latches them. This can be overhead or concealed, depending on the certified options.
Can I add a letterbox to a composite fire door?
Only if the letterplate is part of the certified doorset. Cutting one in afterwards would compromise the door's fire performance.
