FAQs
What does FD30 mean?
FD30 indicates that the door is certified to provide a minimum of 30 minutes of fire resistance when installed correctly.
Can I trim the door to fit?
While minor trimming is possible, you must consult the manufacturer's specific guidelines to ensure you do not compromise the fire-rated core structure.
Does this door come pre-finished?
No, this is an unfinished door, meaning it requires priming and painting or staining to match your home's decor.
Is this door suitable for external use?
No, this is an internal fire door and should not be used as an external entrance door as it is not designed to withstand outdoor weather conditions.
What type of hinges should I use?
You must use certified fire-rated hinges that are compatible with the weight of a solid core door.
Troubleshooting
Door is binding or sticking in the frame
Check that the hinges are properly recessed and the door is level. If the timber has swollen due to moisture, re-seal the edges.
Door fails to close completely
Verify that intumescent seals are correctly fitted and not obstructing the door, and ensure the latch is aligned correctly.
Surface finish is cracking
Ensure the door was fully sealed on all six sides prior to hanging to prevent expansion and contraction caused by humidity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of a fire door must be carried out by a competent person to ensure the FD30 certification remains valid. Ensure your door frame is compatible with a heavy solid core door and that intumescent seals are installed correctly.
- Preparation: Lightly sand the door surface and ensure it is dry and dust-free before applying your chosen finish.
- Finishing: Apply multiple coats of high-quality paint, stain, or varnish to all six sides, including the top and bottom edges, to prevent moisture absorption.
- Hardware: Use only certified fire-rated hinges, locks, and closers.
- Maintenance: Periodically check that intumescent seals are intact and that the door closes fully into the frame without sticking or gaps.
