FD60 fire doors in York, done to the evidence
When you book FD60 fire doors in York, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Fire doors in York protect escape routes in GP surgeries, HMOs and industrial units alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
FD60 openings in York buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. For FD60 work in York we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence.
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:
- Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
- Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
- Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
- Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
Fire door law for York properties
England's framework applies in York. Approved Document B guides the fire performance of new and replacement doors under the Building Regulations 2010. Day-to-day duties sit with the responsible person under the Fire Safety Order 2005, and for multi-occupied residential buildings, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties such as giving residents information about fire doors.
For blocks over 11 metres in York, those regulations require communal fire door checks at least every three months and best-endeavours flat entrance door checks each year. In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.

Questions
Is York within your coverage area?
It is. We cover York in North Yorkshire and neighbouring towns such as Selby. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my York building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
Do FD60 doors need smoke seals?
If the fire strategy asks for smoke control, yes: the door will be specified as FD60S or E60Sa with smoke seals. Many plant room doors are FD60 without a smoke requirement.
