FD60 fire doors in Lincoln

FD60 fire doors in Lincoln, done to the evidence

When you book FD60 fire doors in Lincoln, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.

Lincoln has a broad mix of buildings, including HMOs, offices and industrial units, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

Before ordering FD60 doors for a Lincoln building, we check the rating each opening actually needs, because over-specifying makes doors heavier and dearer. For FD60 work in Lincoln we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence.

When does a building need FD60 rather than FD30?

FD60 doors appear where the fire strategy asks a wall to resist fire for an hour: stair cores and lobbies in taller buildings, plant and boiler rooms, some service risers, refuse stores and compartment walls between different uses. The rating follows the wall. Fitting an FD30 door in a 60-minute wall leaves a weak point, and fitting FD60 everywhere wastes money and makes doors harder to open.

We work from your fire strategy, the building's drawings or the fire risk assessment. Where these disagree with what is on site, we flag it before ordering.

On a typical job that means:

• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer

The regulations behind fire doors in Lincoln

The rules that apply to fire doors in Lincoln are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.

Where a Lincoln block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
