Collection: Fire Doors

Fire protection requirements vary depending on building use, risk level, and layout. At Security Direct, we supply a range of fire rated door solutions to suit different applications, from everyday access doors to specialist fire containment systems.

Fire Rated Steel Doors

Fire rated steel doors are the most common solution for commercial and industrial buildings. Manufactured from galvanised steel and tested to BS EN fire standards, they are available in FD30 and FD60 ratings. These doors provide robust fire resistance while also offering excellent durability, security, and low maintenance. Common applications include plant rooms, corridors, stairwells, and service areas where strength and compliance are essential.

Fire Exit Doors

Fire exit doors are designed to allow safe and rapid escape during an emergency. Typically fitted with panic bars or push pads, they are tested for fire resistance while ensuring ease of use under pressure. Fire exit doors are commonly installed in warehouses, factories, retail units, and public buildings, helping to maintain compliant escape routes without compromising fire protection.

Fire Shutters

Fire shutters provide automatic fire compartmentation for larger openings where traditional fire doors are not practical. Activated by fire alarm systems or fusible links, they close automatically in the event of a fire to contain flames and smoke. Fire shutters are commonly used in kitchens, industrial units, loading bays, corridors, and service openings, offering high fire ratings and reliable performance in demanding environments.

Fire Curtains for Doors

Fire curtains are a discreet alternative to fire shutters, designed to provide fire protection while remaining hidden when not in use. Ideal for architectural or space-restricted environments, fire curtains deploy automatically during a fire to protect door openings and escape routes. They are commonly used in open plan residential buildings, commercial buildings, retail spaces, and public areas where aesthetics and flexibility are important.

Fire doors and fire protection systems can be tailored to suit the specific requirements of your building, ensuring compliance without compromising on usability or appearance. At Security Direct, we offer a wide range of design and customisation options across our fire-rated door solutions.

Sizes & Configurations

Fire doors can be manufactured to suit single or double door openings, non standard sizes, and varying wall constructions. Options are available for internal, external, and high traffic environments.

Fire Ratings

Choose from FD30 and FD60 fire resistance ratings, depending on your risk assessment and building regulations.

Hardware & Access Control

Doors can be fitted with panic hardware, push pads, closers, vision panels, and access control systems, including electric locking where permitted.

Finishes & Colours

Fire doors are available in a range of powder coated colours, with durability suitable for commercial and industrial use.

Integration with Fire Systems

Fire shutters and curtains can be linked to fire alarm and control panels for automatic activation and full system compliance.

Fire doors and fire protection systems are used across a wide range of commercial, industrial, and public buildings to help control the spread of fire and smoke while maintaining safe access and escape routes. Security Direct supplies fire-rated solutions suitable for both new builds and retrofit projects.

Commercial Buildings

Ideal for offices, retail units, schools, and public buildings, fire doors help protect corridors, stairwells, and fire escape routes while meeting building and fire safety regulations.

Industrial & Warehousing

Fire rated steel doors and fire shutters are commonly used in factories, warehouses, and plant rooms, where durability, security, and high fire resistance are required.

High-Risk Areas

Suitable for boiler rooms, electrical rooms, bin stores, and service areas where fire risk is increased and containment is critical.

Large Openings & Compartmentation

Fire shutters and fire curtains are used to protect wider openings, loading bays, and internal divisions where standard fire doors are not practical.

Escape Routes & Exits

Fire exit doors ensure safe and compliant emergency egress in the event of a fire.

Different fire rated solutions offer specific advantages depending on the opening, risk level, and building use. Security Direct supplies a range of compliant systems designed to balance safety, durability, and practicality.

Fire doors and fire protection systems must comply with UK fire safety legislation and recognised test standards to ensure they perform correctly in the event of a fire. At Security Direct, all fire rated products are supplied in line with current regulations and manufacturer certifications.

Fire Rated Steel Doors

Fire-rated steel doors are tested to BS EN 1634-1, which measures fire resistance and smoke control. Common fire ratings include FD30 (30 minutes) and FD60 (60 minutes). Doors must be installed with compatible frames, hardware, and seals to maintain certification.

Fire Shutters

Fire shutters are tested to BS EN 1634-1 or BS EN 16034 , depending on configuration. They are designed to automatically close upon fire alarm activation or thermal release, providing effective fire compartmentation for larger openings.

Fire Curtains

Fire curtains are tested to BS EN 1634-1 and classified under BS EN 13501-2. They are typically rated for integrity (E) and, where specified, insulation (EI) performance, and must integrate with the building’s fire alarm system.

Installation & Ongoing Safety

Correct installation, commissioning, and regular servicing are essential to maintain compliance and ensure long term fire protection performance.

Correct installation and ongoing maintenance are essential to ensure fire doors and fire protection systems operate correctly in the event of a fire. Security Direct provides professional installation to ensure all products are fitted in line with manufacturer instructions and applicable fire safety standards.

Professional Installation

Fire rated steel doors, fire shutters, and fire curtains must be installed using approved fixings and components. Fire shutters and fire curtains also require electrical connection and integration with fire alarm systems, making specialist installation critical to maintaining compliance.

Supply Only / Self Install

Fire door products can be supplied on a supply only basis for competent installers. Fire shutters and fire curtains are more complex to install due to fixing tolerances, power requirements, and control wiring. Incorrect installation may invalidate certification and compromise fire safety.

Maintenance & Statutory Servicing

Fire doors should be included in a building’s regular fire safety checks, with weekly visual inspections to confirm correct operation and clear escape routes.Fire shutters and fire curtains must be professionally serviced at least once every 12 months in accordance with manufacturer requirements and UK fire safety guidance. Annual servicing is essential to ensure reliable activation, continued compliance, and occupant safety.
