Why the garage door matters
Fires that start in garages can grow quickly and fill a hallway with smoke. The door between the garage and the house is the barrier that buys time for everyone inside to get out. It is one of the few doors inside a home that is expected to be both fire-rated and self-closing, and it often has a step or threshold that needs careful detailing.
What you get:
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Self-closer set gently but positively
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Threshold detailing for smoke control

Does the garage door need a closer?
