38 x 115MM FIRE CERTIFIED DOOR LINING SET WITH STOPS AND 15 X 4MM GROOVE 2'6"/2'9"
Typical applications
This fire certified lining set is commonly used in domestic and commercial properties where internal fire doors are required by building regulations. It is suitable for partition walls, stairwell enclosures, and other compartmentalisation requirements. The pre-fitted stops eliminate the need for separate stop installation, streamlining the fitting process on site.
- Internal doorways in new build properties
- Refurbishment and modernisation projects
- Fire safety compliance installations
- Replacement of existing damaged or worn linings
Installation and fitting
The lining set should be installed plumb and square within the prepared opening. The 38mm depth is suitable for standard stud partition walls. The pre-fitted stops are positioned to receive a standard fire door leaf. Ensure the opening is prepared to the correct dimensions before delivery to avoid fitting delays. The 15 x 4mm groove is designed to accommodate the door frame rebate, so check that your fire door leaf is compatible with this profile.
- Check opening dimensions match the 2'6" or 2'9" height before ordering
- Ensure the opening is plumb, square and level
- Verify fire door leaf compatibility with the groove profile
- Use appropriate fixings for your wall type (brick, block or timber stud)
- Seal gaps around the lining with fire-rated sealant where required
Fire certification and compliance
This lining set is fire certified, meaning it has been tested and approved to contribute to fire safety performance when used with a compatible fire door leaf and appropriate installation methods. Fire certification is not transferable to non-standard installations or modifications. Always confirm that your complete door assembly (lining, door leaf, hardware and seals) meets the fire rating required by your local building control authority.
- Fire certification applies to this lining set only when installed correctly
- Must be paired with a fire certified door leaf of matching specification
- Building control approval may be required before installation
- Do not modify, cut or alter the lining after delivery
On-site handling and maintenance
Store the lining set in a dry, protected location on site to prevent warping or moisture damage. Handle carefully to avoid damage to the pre-fitted stops or groove profile. Once installed, the lining requires minimal maintenance; keep the frame clean and check that the door closes smoothly and seals properly. If the door does not close evenly or gaps appear, check that the lining remains plumb and that the wall has not settled.
- Keep packaging intact until ready to install
- Store horizontally in a dry area away from direct sunlight
- Protect from rain and moisture during construction
- Check plumb and square regularly during and after installation
- Inspect seals and gaps annually in high-traffic areas
