What Is a Fire Door? 
 
A fire door is a specialised door designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke within a building. These doors play a crucial role in containing fires, protecting occupants and ensuring clear escape routes. They are essential components of passive fire protection systems in various structures, including high-rise residential buildings, commercial properties and industrial facilities. 

What Are the Key Features of Fire Doors? 

Fire Door Hardware 
Fire doors are equipped with fire-rated hardware, including locks, handles and hinges. These are designed to withstand high temperatures and remain operational during a fire. 
 
Fire Resistance 
Fire door materials can withstand exposure to high temperatures and flames for a specified duration. They typically have fire resistance ratings indicated in minutes (such as 30, 60 or 90 minutes), reflecting how long they can endure fire without it spreading. 
 
Intumescent Seal 
Many fire doors are fitted with intumescent seals around the frame. When exposed to heat, these seals expand to fill any gaps, creating a tighter barrier that further prevents the spread of fire and smoke. 
 
Self-Closing Mechanism 
Fire doors are equipped with self-closing mechanisms, typically in the form of door closers, ensuring the door remains closed at all times. This feature prevents the passage of fire and smoke, even when no one is present to manually close the door. 
 
Smoke Control 
In addition to withstanding flames and heat, fire doors are designed to block the passage of smoke. All fire-rated doors have a smoke seal surrounding the door frame, preventing smoke from spreading.

Why Book a Fire Door Installation? 

Installing fire doors is often underestimated. In fact, they complement the essential roles of alarms, sprinklers and fire extinguishers. Fire doors contain the spread of fire and smoke while safeguarding lives and property. In turn, this reduces the risk of injury or loss of life, property damage or destruction, and costly legal and repair or replacement fees. 
 
In busy settings, the risk of fire increases significantly. Fire doors are essential in these environments, as they contain fires within specific areas, providing time for safe evacuation and effective emergency response.

Frequently Asked Questions 
Fire doors must be installed by a qualified professional to ensure they function correctly in the event of a fire. Improper installation can compromise safety, so only certified installers with the necessary training and experience should handle this task. 
The right fire door depends on the building's design and fire safety plan. Always consult a fire protection expert to determine the best option for your space. Fire doors are rated by how long they can hold back fire and smoke. The most common ratings are: 
 
FD30: 30 minutes of protection 
FD60: 60 minutes 
FD90: 90 minutes 
FD120: 120 minutes 
Installing a fire door typically takes a professional two hours, but this can vary depending on door type and location. Metal or glass doors may take up to eight hours. 
 
As for how many fire doors you need, it depends on your building. In domestic properties, fire doors are required in homes with three or more floors and between living spaces and integral garages. In commercial buildings, fire doors must be placed throughout to ensure safe evacuation routes.
