August 16, 201411 yr comment_6543 I am currently tendering to replace 28 fire doors in a care home with 9 disabled tenants and staff . I just need clarification on the rating of the door we need to install should the doors be 30minute fire doors or 1 hour. Many Thanks Steven Report
August 18, 201411 yr comment_6568 It all depends on the fire risk assessment and the fire safety strategy it could be a mixture FD30, FD30s, FD60 or FD60s. Whoever wrote the tender should have specified standard of the doors required, sorry I cannot help.

April 8, 201511 yr comment_7336 some very elderly and incapacitated flat owners in retirement premises have difficulty over opening the fire doors to their apartments. Can the loading on these doors be modified to enable their exit as required Report
April 9, 201511 yr comment_7343 The opening moments of doors should meet the appropriate British Standard. Check out http://www.poolewaite.co.uk/page.asp?id=TDDisAwar for more detailed information. A point worth considering is there are swing free door closers as well as magnetic hold open devices. Report
