What to check before ordering fire-rated glazed doors in Sevenoaks
Closers and gaps
Self-closing devices and correct gaps are part of the performance. We set them at installation and record them.
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.
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.
