FD60 openings in Bolton buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. Before ordering FD60 doors for a Bolton building, we check the rating each opening actually needs, because over-specifying makes doors heavier and dearer.

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.

Each installation includes:

• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
