FD60 fire doors in West Bromwich

What FD60 fire doors in West Bromwich should include

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in West Bromwich, we offer FD60 fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

Fire doors in West Bromwich protect escape routes in GP surgeries, industrial units and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

For FD60 work in West Bromwich we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence. FD60 openings in West Bromwich buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises.

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.

As standard, the work covers:

• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
• 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

In higher-risk buildings, building work is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator, so we check whether approval is needed before starting.
