Fixing and buying guide

Who this door is for

This fire door suits homeowners and commercial property managers undertaking internal refurbishment where building regulations require fire-rated doors. It is ideal for period properties seeking authentic Victorian styling without compromising on safety, and for contemporary schemes where traditional aesthetics are preferred. The FD30 rating makes it compliant for use in hallways, stairwells, and other internal separating walls in both domestic and commercial buildings.

Sizing and compatibility

The door is manufactured to standard UK dimensions of 762mm width and 1981mm height, fitting typical internal doorway openings. The 44mm solid core thickness is standard for fire-rated internal doors and provides both durability and improved acoustic performance. Before purchase, measure your existing doorway opening to confirm compatibility. Check that your door frame is suitable for a 44mm thick door leaf and verify that the frame depth can accommodate the door thickness without adjustment.

• Width: 762mm (standard single door width)
• Height: 1981mm (standard internal door height)
• Thickness: 44mm solid core
• Suitable for standard UK internal doorway frames

Pre-installation checks

Inspect the door upon delivery for any damage to the clear pine finish or panel detailing. Check that the door is straight and free from warping by laying it flat on a level surface. Verify your doorway opening is plumb and square using a spirit level, as fire doors require precise fitting to maintain their rating. Ensure your existing frame is in good condition and suitable for hanging a 44mm thick door. If the frame is damaged or out of square, it should be repaired or replaced before installation. Allow the door to acclimatise to the room environment for 48 hours before hanging to minimise movement.

• Check door for transit damage and warping
• Verify doorway is plumb and square
• Confirm frame is suitable for 44mm door thickness
• Allow 48 hours acclimatisation before hanging
• Ensure frame is in good structural condition

Fire rating and building regulations

This door carries an FD30 rating, meaning it will resist fire for 30 minutes and is suitable for use as an internal fire door in residential and commercial properties. To maintain the FD30 rating, the door must be hung using fire-rated hinges and fitted with an appropriate fire-rated latch or lock. Seals around the frame and door edges are essential for the rating to be effective. Always consult your local building control authority to confirm specific requirements for your installation, as regulations may vary by property type and location.
