FD60 fire doors in Royal Leamington Spa

FD60 fire doors in Royal Leamington Spa: what's involved

If you need FD60 fire doors in Royal Leamington Spa, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

Around Royal Leamington Spa, HMOs, high-street shops and houses with integral garages 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.

FD60 openings in Royal Leamington Spa buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. Before ordering FD60 doors for a Royal Leamington Spa building, we check the rating each opening actually needs, because over-specifying makes doors heavier and dearer.

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.

What you get:

• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
