Good to know
Fire-rated doors are tested as complete assemblies: the door, the frame and the hardware. Changing a part can change the rating, and drilling the wrong place can void it. That is why hardware on a fire door should be chosen for the rating and installed carefully. We help with the hardware side and recommend a certified inspector for full compliance checks.
When this is not the right fix
Full inspections need a certified inspector.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change hardware on a fire door?
Only with hardware suited to the rating. We check before we fit anything.
Do you inspect fire doors?
We check the hardware. A full inspection is a specialist task.
Can I drill a fire door?
Not without care. Drilling in the wrong place can void the rating.
