Asking the right questions about fire doors

When is a fire door not a fire door? It’s a serious question that many should be asking when choosing the right fire doors, say the experts from Masterdor, the GRP and engineered timber door specialists owned by Synseal Group. “A fire door is only a fire door if it is installed correctly, with fully tested, fire-rated hardware and frames which meet British Standards,” says Group Sales and Marketing Director, Andy Jones. “We have seen an increase in enquiries about fire door specification following the tragic Grenfell Tower fire in June, as fire safety has come under wider scrutiny.
