Fixing and buying guide

Who this door is for

This door suits homeowners and builders working on period properties, listed buildings, or properties where traditional aesthetics and fire safety are both required. It is ideal for internal applications where a 30-minute fire resistance rating is needed, such as between living spaces and escape routes. The unfinished White Oak allows decorators and builders to stain or paint the door to match existing joinery and décor on site.

Sizing and compatibility

This door measures 1981mm in height by 686mm in width (78 inches by 27 inches), making it a standard 27-inch internal door size. The 44mm thickness is standard for internal doors. Before purchase, confirm your door opening dimensions and that your existing frame or new frame is compatible with FD30-rated doors.

Fire rating and installation requirements

This door carries an FD30 fire rating, meaning it provides 30-minute fire resistance when properly installed. To maintain this rating, the door must be hung in a fire-rated frame using fire-rated hinges, locks, and seals as specified by building regulations and the frame manufacturer. Do not modify the door by cutting, drilling, or removing material beyond manufacturer guidance, as this may compromise the fire rating. Consult your building control officer or the frame supplier for specific installation requirements in your application.

• FD30 rating requires installation in a compatible fire-rated frame
• Use fire-rated hinges, locks, and seals
• Do not cut or drill the door beyond manufacturer guidance
• Verify compliance with local building regulations before installation
