Before you order fire-rated glazed doors: what matters
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.
Ongoing checks
Residential blocks in England over 11 metres need regular fire door checks under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022; glazed doors are included.
Escape route doors
Doors that subdivide corridors and doors that swing both ways normally need vision panels, and integrity-only glass in doors may be limited by building guidance on escape routes.
