Single or double emergency exit doors for openings from 700mm to 2m wide. Each one comes pre-fitted with Exidor push bars, so the door opens from inside without keys or codes, and you can add an outside access device.

Steel Fire Doors

Steel fire doors give extra protection against fire and smoke, and suit doorways that also need extra security.

Types Of Fire Doors

Different types of fire door suit different parts of a building. Whichever you need, the door has to meet fire regulations for where it is fitted.

Wooden Fire Doors

The most popular fire door for the inside of a building. They have a solid core, usually made from timber, flaxboard, magboard or particleboard. The core can be built in several ways; what matters is that the finished door meets fire regulations.

Steel Fire Doors

Steel fire doors are made to give extra protection against the spread of fire and smoke. They are the usual choice where the doorway also needs to be secure.

Glass Fire Doors

Less common than wooden or steel doors, glass fire doors are often used in open-plan offices because they look lighter. Every glazed fire door must use fire-rated glass.

Fire Door Ratings Explained

Fire doors are rated by how long they hold back fire in testing. The FD number is the minimum time in minutes. FD30 doors are the most common. Higher-rated doors are mainly used to separate parts of larger buildings, such as office blocks, retail buildings and hospitals.

Ask us for the tested rating of any door we quote for you.

  • FD30: a minimum of 30 minutes
  • FD60: a minimum of 60 minutes
  • FD90: a minimum of 90 minutes
  • FD120: a minimum of 120 minutes

What Fire Doors Do

A fire door is a barrier that slows the spread of fire, which limits the damage and gives people more time to get out.

Fire doors usually have smoke seals and gaskets around the edges. These stop smoke moving from one area to the next, which matters because smoke is a major danger in a fire.

Fire exit doors keep the escape route simple. They open with a push bar, so nobody needs a key or a code to get out.

Commercial and public buildings have to meet fire safety rules, and the right fire doors, fire shutters and fire curtains are a key part of that.
