What a Fire Rated Entrance Door Includes
A rated entrance is a set, not a leaf on its own. Each part is specified together, because the performance belongs to the assembly rather than to the door slab.
- Door leafFabricated to your opening size, with the core build-up agreed against the rating your project specifies.
- FrameSteel or aluminum frame produced to suit the wall construction, fixing detail and architrave on the drawing.
- SealsPerimeter and rebate intumescent seals selected for the leaf and frame combination in the specification.
- Self-closing hardwareCloser, coordinator for double leaves and latch set, matched to the door schedule rather than added afterwards.
- GlazingVision panels or glazed apertures where the rating and the project specification permit them.
- IronmongeryHandles, locks and exit devices coordinated with the schedule so the assembly arrives as one set.
Made to the Rating in Your Documents
We do not sell one catalogue rating for every market. The rating, the standard, the hardware and the destination country are read from the project documents first, and the door is built around them.
- RatingThe fire resistance period required by the project.
- StandardThe test standard your specification cites for that rating.
- OpeningMeasured width and height, single or double leaf.
- HardwareCloser, exit device and locking requirements from the door schedule.
- DestinationThe country the doors ship to, because acceptance requirements differ.
- DocumentationWhat the project needs on paper before the order can be released.
Fire Rated Entrance Configurations
Fire Rated Double Doors

Fire Rated Doors with Glass
Vision panels or glazed apertures, sized and set within what the rating and the specification allow.
Fire Rated Steel Entrance Doors
Steel leaf and frame systems for entrances that form part of a fire compartment or protected route.
Project Types
Rated entrance doors usually sit on a protected route, so the drawing set decides the configuration more than the style does.

Fire Rated Entrance Doors FAQ
What fire rating can you supply?
The rating comes from your project documents, not from a fixed catalogue. Send the required period and the test standard your specification cites, and we confirm what we can build and document before the order is released.
Are your fire rated doors certified?
Certification is project-specific. Some projects require a tested assembly listed by an accredited laboratory; others accept a manufacturer declaration with the build-up documented. Tell us which applies to your project and we will confirm before quotation whether we can meet it.
Can fire rated entrance doors include glass?
Where the specification allows it, yes. Glazed areas are sized and positioned within the limits of the rated assembly, and the glass type is agreed together with the rating rather than chosen afterwards.
Do fire rated doors need a self-closer?
In most codes a fire door has to be self-closing and positively latched. Closers, coordinators for double leaves and the seals are part of the hardware schedule we work to, not accessories added on site.
What do you need to quote a fire rated entrance door?
The required rating and standard, opening dimensions or drawings, single or double leaf, the hardware schedule, the quantity and the destination country. With those we can confirm feasibility and documentation before pricing.
Have a Fire Rated Entrance Requirement?
Send the required rating, the standard your specification cites and the opening drawings. We will confirm feasibility and the documentation we can provide before any quotation.
