Key checks for Hampshire projects

Closers and gaps

Self-closing devices and correct gaps are part of the performance. We set them at installation and record them.

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.

Accessibility

Opening forces, vision panel zones and contrast need to work with accessibility guidance as well as fire.

FAQs for Hampshire

Can a fire door be fully glazed?

Yes, some steel, aluminium and timber doorsets are tested with large or full-height glazing. The glass must be the type and size in the evidence.

Can you add glass to my existing fire door?

Cutting new apertures into a fire door is only acceptable when done under the door manufacturer's or certification scheme's instructions. Often a new doorset is the safer answer.

What does FD30 mean on a glazed door?

FD30 is a UK shorthand for a door providing 30 minutes' fire resistance. Under European classification the same door would be described with an E or EI rating, with S added where smoke control is tested.

Do you cover all of Hampshire?

Yes. We take enquiries from across Hampshire, including Southampton and Portsmouth, Basingstoke, Gosport, Waterlooville, and arrange surveys to suit your programme.
