Liam Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 Hi, I’ve been asked to replace an existing door and frame to a fire door, and frame. I’m just wondering would the frame be ok fitting into the same position onto the staircase like the picture. Or cut into the staircase so the frame sits down tight to the step. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sutton Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Its an unusual situation, having a door on the stairs is not normal and I would see if there is a more suitable location for the door, without a physical inspection it is impossible to give a definitive answer.

Liam Posted January 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 The stairs run into the living room with no corridor so no where else for it go, but the council have said a fire door is needed on there. Would strips routered into the door work as they would sit tight into the stairs string Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sutton Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 I very much doubt a fire door has been tested in in such a configuration so it is impossible to predict how it is likely to behave in a fire. You could employ the services of a fire door inspector but other than that I am unable to help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
