What to check before ordering fire-rated glazed doors in Eccles
Doorset, not just a door
The safest route is a complete doorset with frame and hardware tested together. Mixing a leaf from one source with a frame from another needs evidence that covers the combination.
Closers and gaps
Self-closing devices and correct gaps are part of the performance. We set them at installation and record them.
Accessibility
Opening forces, vision panel zones and contrast need to work with accessibility guidance as well as fire.

England regulations that shape the job
England Which rules apply?
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.
