How and where to use guide
32MM X 38MM X 2100MM (25 x 32mm)Redwood 5th PSE Firecheck Door stop
Typical applications
This doorstop is commonly used in internal door frame construction to create a rebate that seats and supports fire-rated door leaves. It is suitable for domestic and light commercial environments where fire safety certification is required. The Firecheck designation indicates compliance with fire performance standards, making it appropriate for use in escape routes, compartment walls and other areas where fire-rated door assemblies are specified.
- Internal door frame rebates in new build and refurbishment projects
- Fire-rated door leaf seating and support
- Replacement of damaged or worn doorstops in existing frames
- Domestic and light commercial applications
Installation and fitting
Measure your door frame opening carefully and cut the doorstop to length as required. The 2100mm length accommodates most standard UK door frame heights with allowance for cutting. Fix the doorstop to the frame using appropriate fixings (typically nails or screws) at regular intervals, ensuring it sits flush and square to support the door leaf evenly. Check that the rebate depth and width are compatible with your door leaf thickness and that the assembly meets your project specification before final fixing.
- Measure frame opening and cut to length with a sharp saw
- Position the doorstop to create an even rebate for the door leaf
- Fix securely using nails or screws at 300-400mm centres
- Ensure the rebate is square and flush for consistent door closure
Material and durability
Redwood 5th grade timber offers reliable performance for internal applications. PSE (planed square edge) finish provides a clean, consistent surface suitable for painting or staining to match your door frame. The timber is kiln-dried to reduce movement and warping. On-site, protect the doorstop from excessive moisture and direct weather exposure during storage and installation. Once fitted and finished, maintain the paint or stain coat to protect the timber and preserve fire rating integrity.
- Store flat and dry on site before installation
- Protect from rain and damp during construction phases
- Sand lightly if required before painting or staining
- Maintain finish coat to preserve fire performance and appearance
