Where are FD30 doors used?

FD30 is the rating most buildings rely on. You will find it on flat entrance doors, doors onto escape corridors and stairs in houses in multiple occupation, kitchen doors in HMOs, and most internal doors on escape routes in offices, schools, surgeries and shops. Where smoke control matters too, the door is specified as FD30S (E30Sa), which adds a smoke seal and a tighter threshold.

The rating your building needs comes from its fire strategy or fire risk assessment, not from the door supplier. If you are unsure whether a door should be FD30 or FD60, we check the drawings, the risk assessment and what is installed now before we price anything. Our FD30 vs FD60 guide explains the difference.

As standard, the work covers:

• Fire-tested hinges, latch or lock and intumescent pads
• Frame-to-wall gap sealed with an evidenced material
• Intumescent strips and smoke seals to the certification
• Overhead closer set to close and latch
