FD60 fire doors in Brierley Hill

Getting FD60 fire doors right in Brierley Hill

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

Fire doors in Brierley Hill protect escape routes in schools, small blocks of flats and care homes alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

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

• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
