An installer’s general guide; your council decides.

Who is responsible for the fire doors in a shop?

The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 — usually the employer, or whoever controls the premises. Your fire risk assessment should say which doors are fire doors and how they are checked. We fit and repair them; the assessment is a separate job.

What do FD30 and FD60 mean?

The number is the minutes of fire integrity the doorset achieved in test. An “S” after it — FD30S — means it also has smoke seals. The rating belongs to the whole set: leaf, frame, intumescent seals, hinges, closer and glazing. Swap a hinge for a cheaper one, or cut in a vision panel on site, and you no longer have the rated door.

Questions

Can you repair a fire door or does it need replacing?

Many faults — gaps, damaged seals, a closer that no longer closes, hinges — can be repaired to keep the rating, using parts that match the certification. Damage to the leaf itself often means replacement.

Security doors — Steel doorsets for rear, side and service entrances, rated to a recognised attack standard.
Shopfront repairs — Doors that drop, locks that stick, frames that leak — fixed within 100 road miles of Birmingham.
Aluminium entrance doors — Commercial entrance doors on floor springs or closers, with level thresholds.
