A fire door set is a complete door assembly, including the door, frame, hinges, and other necessary components, all tested together as a unit to meet fire safety standards. Unlike a standard fire door, which might only include the door itself, a fire door set is designed and certified as a cohesive system, ensuring fire resistance across every component.
Fire door sets must adhere to strict safety regulations to meet fire resistance standards. They are typically required to open easily from the inside to allow a safe exit and must be made from specific materials, such as solid core or fire-resistant composites, to withstand high temperatures.
These door sets are available in different fire ratings, with the most common being FD30 and FD60. Each fire door set is tested for smoke containment, integrity, and insulation to hit compliance with UK building regulations.
Sentry Doors offers a variety of colour and design options for fire door sets, allowing you to achieve both safety and style. From traditional wood finishes to modern painted colours, our doors can be customised to complement your building’s aesthetic.
Each finish is applied to maintain the door’s fire-resistant properties, ensuring safety without compromising on design. With options in panel styles, handles, and finishes, you can select a fire door set that integrates with your interior décor.
Sentry Doors fire door sets are designed for straightforward installation, with each set pre-hung and fully assembled to simplify the fitting process. While we recommend professional installation to ensure compliance with safety regulations, we also offer fitting guides for customers who prefer a DIY approach.
However, due to the standards required for fire door performance, we advise consulting with a certified installer if possible, as incorrect fitting could impact the fire rating and overall effectiveness of the door.
See our resource centre where we have detailed guides on solo information and style, design guides.
A pre-hung fire door set includes the fire door already mounted on the frame, along with all necessary hardware, like hinges and seals. This setup makes installation quicker and easier, as the door and frame are pre-aligned for a secure fit.
FD30 and FD60 refer to the fire resistance rating in minutes. An FD30 fire door set offers 30 minutes of protection, while an FD60 provides 60 minutes. The choice depends on specific building regulations and the level of protection required.
A typical fire door set includes the door, frame, hinges, intumescent seals, and any necessary hardware. It is sold as a complete unit tested together for fire resistance, ensuring that all components work together to meet safety standards.
While it is possible to fit a fire door set yourself, we recommend using a professional installer. Fire doors need to be fitted precisely to maintain their fire-resistance rating, and professional installation helps ensure compliance with regulations.
You can purchase reliable, regulation-compliant fire door sets directly from Sentry Doors. Our products are rigorously tested and certified to meet UK fire safety standards, ensuring protection and peace of mind.
