Fire door installation is about the complete assembly
A fire door only performs as intended when the complete assembly is appropriate for its location and installed correctly. The door leaf, frame, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and other hardware all need to be considered together.
MYLU Fire approaches replacement and installation work as part of the wider fire door management process, using inspection findings and the requirements of the particular building to define the work required.
When replacement or installation may be required
A fire door may need repair or replacement where damage, deterioration, unsuitable alterations or other defects mean that it can no longer perform its intended role. The appropriate solution should be based on the particular door, its evidence and the requirements of the building.
- Damaged or deteriorated doors
- Failed or unsuitable components
- Doors that no longer close correctly
- Replacement following inspection findings
- New fire-resisting doorsets within refurbishment works
Installation considerations
Before installation, the opening, frame and surrounding construction should be considered alongside the selected door and compatible components. Installation records and relevant product information should also be retained where required.
- Door and frame condition
- Appropriate door or doorset selection
- Compatible hardware and seals
- Correct installation method
- Completion and maintenance records
