Where steel fire doors are the better choice

Steel doorsets cope with impact, damp and rough handling better than most timber doors. They are a natural fit for plant and boiler rooms, refuse stores, car park lobbies, workshops and warehouses. Many steel doorsets are available in ratings of 60 minutes and beyond where the test evidence supports it, which suits the higher-rated walls around plant spaces.

On a typical job that means:

• Single and double steel doorsets
• Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
• Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
• Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
