FD60 fire doors in Skegness

FD60 fire doors in Skegness: what's involved

Our FD60 fire doors service in Skegness is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.

In and around Skegness, fire door work covers everything from small blocks of flats to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

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

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.

As standard, the work covers:

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

What the rules say for Skegness
