FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the lining set pieces?

The dimensions of each piece in the set are 30.5mm (thickness) x 132mm (width) x 2100mm (length).

Can this lining set be used for exterior doors?

This set is specifically designed and approved for internal doors. Using it for exterior applications is not recommended.

What is the advantage of the friction-fit head design?

The friction-fit design uses pre-made grooves to create a strong mechanical joint, ensuring the frame is perfectly square and significantly speeding up the assembly process.

Do I need to buy separate door stops?

The set includes loose door stops that need to be fitted after the door has been hung in the frame.

Is this set suitable for all types of internal doors?

It is designed for standard internal doors and is specifically compatible with 30-minute fire doors. It is suitable for door widths of 762mm or 838mm.

How should I prepare the timber before finishing?

The timber has a smooth planed surface ready for finishing. Light sanding might be beneficial for an ultra-smooth finish before painting, staining, or varnishing.

What does BWF Certifire approved mean?

It means the product has been tested and certified by the British Woodworking Federation (BWF) Certifire scheme, confirming it meets high standards for fire safety and performance.

Troubleshooting

Frame is not square

Ensure the head piece is correctly seated in the pre-routed grooves on the uprights. Check that all joints are fully engaged and secure the frame with appropriate fixings if needed.

Door does not close properly

Verify that the frame is square and plumb. Adjust the position of the door stops or check for any obstructions preventing the door from closing fully.

Timber surface appears rough

The surface is designed to be painted or finished. Light sanding may be required before applying paint or stain for an ultra-smooth finish.

Intumescent strip does not fit

Confirm that the correct size intumescent strip is being used and that it is being inserted into the pre-routed groove designed for it. Ensure the groove is free from debris.
