Sentry Doors offers fully compliant flat entrance doors, with our team working to ensure the fire safety performance of our products. We hold a comprehensive range of certifications, with a BM TRADA Q-Mark for both fire door manufacturing and enhanced security on all flat entrance doorsets. Our doors are also independently fire-tested within a UKAS approved test house. This means that they will more than meet all safety regulations in a new or existing building. Each of our flat fire doors are made to measure and built to the specifications of your project. They come fully furnished, with a doorframe, hinges and ironmongery, all of which are fire-resistant. Each door is painted and fitted with glazing before delivery, ready for quick installation. We believe in the quality and performance of our flat entrance doorsets, offering a range of warranties on coatings, glazing, and door manufacture.
Safety is a priority for all homeowners, and our flat entrance doors are also designed to resist entry. Both our FD30 and FD60 range of flat entrance doorsets come with a Secured by Design certification. This shows that they pass the many criteria of PAS24, designed to showcase the security standards of doors. PAS24 covers many specific door-open methods, including impact testing and pressure simulation. Our security doors also come with Secured by Design approved handles, featuring a multipoint locking system. Our letterplates are also optimised for security, protecting against common fishing techniques. This helps to ensure that our interior flat entrance doors meet all fire safety regulations, whilst also resisting many popular intrusion techniques.
We produce flat entrance doors to both FD30 and FD60 levels of fire resistance. FD30 fire doors are a legal requirement for internal flat entrances in buildings with 3 or more stories, offering 30 minutes of smoke and fire resistance. This will cover the door and frame, alongside all hinges and ironmongery.
Our FD30 flat front entrance doors are fully certified by accredited bodies including BM TRADA and Certifire, and can be built to specific dimensions in a range of styles and colours. We also offer FD60 flat entrance doors, giving a full 60 minutes of smoke and fire protection. FD60 doors are a legal requirement in certain shared accommodations, depending on fire risk assessments. Depending on the needs of your project, we can manufacture both FD30 and FD60 flat entrance doorsets for you.
Our flat entrance doorsets come in a choice of styles, with both sleek minimalist options and more classical looks available. All of these styles can be built with bespoke measurements, tailored to the space requirements of your building. We also offer a range of finishes, allowing our fire doors to fit the aesthetics of any building.
Several of our fire door style options include glazed panels, with either a large central panel or several smaller panels. All glass in our flat entrance doors is fully compliant, offering either EW30 or EW60 fire resistance, and meeting the P2A European burglar resistance standards. Our glass panels can be clear or sandblasted, depending on the privacy needs of your residents.
We manufacture all of our flat entrance doorsets from our factory in Doncaster, with our exhaustive quality control measures ensuring that each door we produce offers excellent fire protection. We prioritise good communication with all clients, offering technical expertise and advice when needed.
Our internal flat fire doors are supplied pre-hung, with fire-resistant fixings and ironmongery, ready for a quick and precise installation upon delivery. Sustainability is a core ethos for us, and we are working to minimise waste and reduce our carbon footprint throughout all stages of supply, production, and delivery.
With a combined heritage of over 130 years, we have worked with major contractors across the social housing sector. We have accrued a reputation for quality products, clear communication, and reliable turnarounds, whether working on new builds or replacing old flat doors. When looking for FD30 or FD60 flat entrance doors, we can build bespoke models in a range of styles, fully certified for fire protection and security.

In order to comply with safety regulations, certain doors within a flat must be fitted with fire doors. Such as:
Flat Entrance Door – The main entrance door to the flat from communal areas must be a fire door. This aids in not spreading the fire to public spaces.
Escape Route Doors – Any door within the property that leads to an escape route (e.g. stairway or hallway)
The responsibility for fire doors in your property, usually falls on the landlord or property owner. This includes ensuring the flat fire doors are correctly installed, maintained and fall into line with the fire safety regulations.
Yes, fire-rated frames should be fitted around flat fire doors to guarantee the necessary protection. The door, alongside the frame, should meet the fire rating regulations.
