    Fire escape doors: frequently asked questions

    Got a question about fire exit doors? You may find an answer here. If not, ask our team.
    1

    What is a steel fire exit door?

    A fire exit door is the final exit door in a building’s escape route. These doors are designed to allow occupants to leave safely during an emergency. They’re typically fitted with panic hardware — like push bars and push pads — so they’re easy and intuitive to use. Steel fire exit doors are particularly strong, secure, and hard-wearing.

    2

    Can you get fire-rated fire exit doors?

    Yes, you can. But this isn’t always necessary.

    A fire-rated door is designed to hold back fire and smoke for a set period of time. Under high temperatures, these doors expand to fit the frame, creating a seal that prevents fire and smoke from spreading through a building.

    Fire exit doors only need to be fire-rated if this is specified in your fire safety risk assessment.

    3

    Do I need fire exit doors for my business premises?

    Yes. According to fire exit door regulations, most commercial, industrial, and public buildings need at least two fire escapes. The number and type of doors you need depend on your premises, occupancy and fire risk assessment.

    4

    How do you ensure fire exit door security?

    You can get fire exit doors that you can open from the outside, using a fob or key code. These doors open from the inside using panic hardware.

    It’s also possible to find fire escape doors with multi-point locking systems and Secured by Design certification. The best fire exit doors ensure building security and easy escape in an emergency.

    5

    Can anyone fit an emergency fire exit door?

    No. Emergency fire exit doors aren’t like standard doors. They should be fitted by someone trained and experienced in fire door fitting. Professional fire exit door installation ensures that your doors work properly in the event of a fire.

    6

    Do FDS steel fire exit doors come with frames and hardware?

    Yes, our steel fire exit doors come with everything you need to ensure fire safety. This includes the door, frame, hinges, panic hardware, locks and signage.

    7

    Do FDS fire escape doors come with a warranty?

    Yes, FDS fire escape doors come with a one-year warranty as standard.
