Size and compatibility
At 1981 x 610 x 44mm, this door is a standard internal size. The 44mm thickness is typical for fire-rated internal doors. Before purchasing, measure your existing door opening carefully to ensure this size suits your space. The door is trimmable, allowing minor adjustments during installation on refurbishment projects, though significant trimming may affect fire performance.

- Width: 610mm (standard internal width)
- Thickness: 44mm (fire-rated specification)
- Check your frame opening dimensions before ordering
Installation and preparation
The exposed lippings on the two long edges simplify installation by providing clear reference points for fitting. The door arrives unfinished, so you will need to paint it before or after hanging, depending on your preference. Ensure your frame is square, level, and the correct size before installation. You will need appropriate hinges, a latch mechanism, and fire-rated hardware to complete the installation.

Check local building regulations to ensure FD30 rating meets your requirements for the intended location.
