FD60 fire doors in Burton upon Trent, DE14

FD60 fire doors: our service in Burton upon Trent

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

Around Burton upon Trent, GP surgeries, offices and purpose-built flats 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.

Before ordering FD60 doors for a Burton upon Trent building, we check the rating each opening actually needs, because over-specifying makes doors heavier and dearer. For FD60 work in Burton upon Trent 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:

• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
