Can I fit a new lock to a fire door?
Only one that is covered by the door's test evidence, fitted with the correct intumescent protection. A larger lock body or new holes can compromise the door.

Usually at least three, of the type and grade specified in the door's evidence. Heavier or taller doors may need more.
