FD60 fire doors in Kingswinford, DY6

Getting FD60 fire doors right in Kingswinford

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

Around Kingswinford, houses with integral garages, small blocks of flats and light industrial buildings 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 Kingswinford buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises. Before ordering FD60 doors for a Kingswinford building, we check the rating each opening actually needs, because over-specifying makes doors heavier and dearer.

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.

Each installation includes:

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