What FD60 fire doors in Welling should include
Our FD60 fire doors service covers Welling and the wider Greater London area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
In and around Welling, fire door work covers everything from mixed-use office buildings to student accommodation. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For FD60 work in Welling we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence. FD60 openings in Welling buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises.
What do you hand over at the end?
For every FD60 opening we record the product and certificate reference, the gap measurements, the hinge and closer specification, how the frame was fixed and what was used to seal the frame-to-structure gap, with photographs before the architraves go on. That record is what your fire risk assessor or building control officer will ask for.
What you get:
- Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
- 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
- Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
- Intumescent and smoke seals as specified

Is FD60 just a thicker FD30?
No. FD60 doors are built and tested as a different product, usually with a thicker core, different seals and different ironmongery. Only the tested combination carries the 60-minute rating.
Are FD60 doors harder to open?
They are heavier, so the closer has to be chosen and adjusted with care. A well-set closer will still close and latch the door while keeping the opening force reasonable for the people who use it.
