If you need to replace your fire door, you should ideally only use a competent third-party accredited fire door installation company.
You can check the registers of third-party accredited schemes to find a suitably qualified tradesperson, such as:
- Warrington Fire FIRAS Installer certification scheme
- BWR Fire Door Alliance
- BM TRADA certified companies
Your new fire door
First, check that your new fire door has the appropriate certification. It should have permanent labels indicating the door’s fire rating, certification number and manufacturer.
The door’s certificate of approval will give details about its installation and compatible hinges, locks and seals.
Installation
Installing a fire door correctly is as important as ensuring the door itself is to the correct standard.
The installer should provide you with a test certificate for all replacement doors, confirming that they meet the required fire safety standard. Alternatively, fire doors can be marked in accordance with an accredited fire door installation scheme.
