Fixing and buying guide

Who this door is for

This door suits builders, contractors, and serious DIY installers who need a cost-effective fire-rated internal door with a quality finish. It is ideal for new builds, refurbishments, and projects requiring FD30 fire safety compliance in residential properties, flats, and commercial spaces. The smooth moulded faces and white base coat make it particularly suitable where on-site decoration is preferred or where a traditional panel door appearance is required.

Sizing and compatibility

This door is manufactured to standard UK dimensions: 686mm width, 1981mm height, and 44mm thickness. These measurements are typical for single internal doorways. Before ordering, confirm your opening size and check that your frame is compatible with a 44mm thick door leaf. The door is designed as a single leaf and will require a suitable frame, hinges, and latch hardware to be fitted separately. Ensure your opening is square and plumb, and that any existing frame is in good condition.

Pre-installation checks and preparation

Before fixing, inspect the door for any damage in transit and allow it to acclimatise to the room for 48 hours if it has been stored in a cold or damp environment. Check that your frame opening is square, level, and plumb using a spirit level and measuring tape. Confirm the frame depth accommodates the 44mm door thickness plus any lining. If you intend to paint the door, lightly sand the white base coat with fine-grit sandpaper to key the surface, then apply your chosen finish according to paint manufacturer instructions. Ensure all hinges, latches, and hardware are sourced separately and are compatible with a 44mm thick door. Do not hang the door until the frame is fully secured and the opening is ready.

• Inspect for transit damage
• Allow 48-hour acclimatisation period
• Check frame is square, level, and plumb
• Confirm frame depth suits 44mm thickness
• Sand white base coat before painting if required
