FAQs
What does FD30 mean?
FD30 indicates that the door is rated to provide 30 minutes of fire resistance. This is a standard rating for fire doors in many building regulations.
Can I hang this door myself?
While possible, it is strongly recommended to have fire doors installed by a qualified professional to ensure they are fitted correctly and meet all safety standards.
What type of paint should I use?
Use a good quality interior paint. Emulsion or acrylic-based paints are generally suitable. Always follow the paint manufacturer's guidelines for application on primed surfaces.
Is this door suitable for exterior use?
No, this door is specifically designed for internal use only. It is not weatherproof and will not provide the required fire resistance for external applications.
How do I clean the door?
Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the painted surface.
Does the door come with hardware (handles, hinges)?
This product is typically sold as the door leaf only. Hardware such as handles, hinges, and locks are usually purchased separately.
What are the dimensions of the door?
Dimensions can vary. Please refer to the specific product listing or packaging for the exact size, but common internal door sizes apply.
Troubleshooting
Door is difficult to close or sticks
Check for swelling due to moisture, or if the door has been painted too thickly around the edges. Ensure hinges are securely fastened and the frame is square. Minor sanding may be required.
Paint finish is uneven after application
Ensure the door was clean and dry before painting. Apply thin, even coats of high-quality paint. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per paint manufacturer instructions.
Hinges are creaking
Lubricate the hinges with a silicone-based lubricant or a light oil. Ensure hinges are not loose.
