FD60 fire doors in Rutherglen: what's involved
If you need FD60 fire doors in Rutherglen, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Around Rutherglen, small offices, schools and care homes 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 Rutherglen we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence. FD60 openings in Rutherglen 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
- Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
- 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
- Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer

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.
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.
