Guest E Kitis Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 In a small block of flats (3 floors) we have external flat doors FD30, with intumescent seals, etc. all fitted, and door closers. We want to fit both external and internal door handles as the doors are heavier with the closers. Should door handles/knobs be fire rated at all? To my mind, if they do, only the internal ones need be, but not the external ones on the side of the stairwell. Can you advise? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil ashdown Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 The handles do not need to be fire rated. However, the installation works for the handles must not compromise the fire and smoke resistance performance of the fire doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
