Key Considerations for Commercial Fire Door Installation
Several factors are critical for making sure your fire doors function correctly:
- Certification: Fire doors must have certification stickers, demonstrating they meet specific standards (like BS 476 or BS EN 1634-1).
- CE Marking: All hardware components, including hinges, locks, closers, and latches, must have a CE mark.
- Correct Specification: Choosing the right fire door rating (FD30, FD60, etc.) is vital, and it depends on your building’s specific requirements.
- Compatible Door Frames: The door frame must be correctly fitted and compatible with the fire door.
- Precise Gap Tolerances: The gaps around the fire door must be within strict limits – typically 2-4mm, with a maximum of 8mm at the threshold. These precise gaps are essential to prevent smoke and flames from spreading.
It’s a concern that 76% of fire doors inspected in 2019 failed, often due to issues like excessive gaps and smoke sealing problems, and 30% were condemned due to poor installation.
