FD60 fire doors in Coulsdon

FD60 fire doors: our service in Coulsdon

Looking for FD60 fire doors in Coulsdon? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Coulsdon and the wider Greater London area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Around Coulsdon, purpose-built blocks of flats, clinics and restaurants all depend on fire doors that close, latch and seal. We survey each opening and tell you plainly which doors need work and which don't.

For FD60 work in Coulsdon we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence. FD60 openings in Coulsdon buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises.

Why FD60 installation is less forgiving

A 54mm leaf can weigh considerably more than a 44mm one. That weight drives everything else: more robust frames and fixings, hinges rated for the load, and a closer with enough power to close and latch the door without making it too heavy to open. Glazing, if any, must use a 60-minute glass and glazing system from the same test evidence.

Because of this, most FD60 openings are best done as a certified doorset, so the frame and leaf come with matching evidence.

Each installation includes:

• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
