I have been asked by a residential client to retain some old stained glass panels and create FD30 glazed doors. I decided to sandwich 30min FR glass to the panels and fit them into an FD30 door blank 826 x 2040 with a section cut out of the middle, is there any reason by building control shouldn't pass it if I follow the detail shown under Fire Doors; Fire Resisting Glazing?

Hanging a fire door is well within the remit of a half decent chippy but when it comes to modifying a fire door I think its for the specialist joiner who fully understands the construction and has the necessary training to prove it. I would be surprised if the building control officer accepted your proposals, they would require written proof which you would not be able to provide.
