What to check before ordering fire-rated glazed doors in Royal Tunbridge Wells
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.
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.
