February 15, 20251 yr comment_47387 You should ideally use an accredited installer to ensure that a certified doorset is correctly specified and installed (although admittedly it's no guarantee). Vents should be avoided unless the room includes plant requiring a minimum specification of ventilation (e.g. boilers) & there is no alternative such as external wall vents. If a fire door (e.g. FD30) they should be intumescent vents or if a firedoor also requiring smoke control (e.g. FD30s) then you would need the vent to be protected by an automatic fire and smoke damper linked to the fire alarm system, usually with detection either side.
