How installation differs from timber

Steel frames are fixed with the anchors and fixing centres the manufacturer specifies, and frames are often grouted or packed according to the instructions. Steel doors usually arrive with hinges and hardware preparations made in the factory, so the hardware set must be ordered correctly at the outset. BS 8214:2026 now covers steel, metal and composite doors as well as timber, including how to seal them to the surrounding structure.

Each installation includes:

• Powder-coated finishes
• Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
• Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
• Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
