Before you order fire-rated glazed doors: what matters
Accessibility
Opening forces, vision panel zones and contrast need to work with accessibility guidance as well as fire.
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.
Glazed area limits
Each door design allows a maximum glazed area and aperture positions. Bigger glass needs a door tested for it.
