How to tell if a door is a fire door?

Question

What am I looking for to make certain it is a fire door?

David · Accepted Answer

It should either say on it FD30 or FD60. Hope this helps

Kevin · Answer

If the door is 44mm thick then you pretty much certain its a 30min firedoor
Also some fire doors have a round plastic plug in one of the edges denotes whether its a 1 hour or 30 min firedoor

Hi Lydia,

So either the door or door linings should have intumescent strips around the whole perimeter of the door/door frame.

Other indicators -

Signs/labels
Hardwood door
Intumescent strips

Hi ya
If you look on the very top edge of the door you should see manufacturer stamp FD30 meaning half hour fire protection or FD60 means one hour fire proof

Richard · Answer

It would normally have a sticker on the top
It will say FD30 or FD60 
Or maybe if it was a fire door it should either have a door closer on it or fire door self closing hinges 
Hopefully that helps 
If not please don’t hesitate to contact me 
Kind regards 
Richard

To check if a door is a fire door, look for a certification label, heavier build, and special seals around the edges. For reliable fire door handles and accessories, Handles4u is the go-to brand!
