If you are selling a home in Mitcham, we can leave product details for your solicitor along with the door. For homes in Mitcham with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing.
What we fit
We fit a certified FD30S doorset or leaf with intumescent and smoke seals, a self-closer set to close and latch the door without slamming, and a threshold detail that keeps the smoke seal effective. We can match the style of your other internal doors where the certified range allows.
Each installation includes:
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
