Fixing and buying guide

Who this door is for

This FD30 fire door is essential for building owners, contractors, and facilities managers working on projects requiring fire safety compliance. It suits new builds and refurbishment projects in offices, hotels, care homes, and residential buildings where internal fire doors must meet Building Regulations. Serious DIY installers undertaking compliant internal door replacement will also find this door straightforward to fit, provided they follow fire door installation best practice.

Compatibility and sizing

The door measures 1981mm height x 762mm width x 44mm thickness, making it a standard full-height internal door for typical UK domestic and commercial doorways. Before ordering, confirm your opening dimensions and check that your existing frame is suitable for a 44mm thick door. The flush design accepts standard hinges, locks, and door furniture without adaptation. Verify that your frame is square and plumb, as fire doors require proper installation to maintain their fire rating. If your opening differs from these dimensions, contact your supplier for alternative sizes.

• Height: 1981mm (standard full-height internal door)
• Width: 762mm (standard single door width)
• Thickness: 44mm (solid engineered construction)
• Flush design compatible with standard frames and hardware

What is included and pre-install checks

The door arrives white primed and ready to hang. Check the door for any transport damage before installation. Inspect the frame for square, level, and plumb; any deviation will affect fire door performance and operation. Ensure hinges and locks are fire-rated if specified by your building control requirements. The white primed finish is ready for final painting or staining on site, but do not leave the door unfinished for extended periods, as the primed surface may absorb moisture. Store the door flat and indoors until installation.

Fire rating and installation

This door carries an FD30 fire rating, meaning it will resist fire for 30 minutes when installed correctly in a suitable frame. Fire door performance depends on proper installation, including correct hinge and lock specification, appropriate frame construction, and sealing of gaps around the door. Always follow the manufacturer's installation instructions and relevant Building Regulations guidance. If this door is part of a fire safety scheme, consult your building control officer or fire safety advisor to confirm all components meet the required standard.
