A very common question that we get asked is "Can we upgrade doors to fire doors?" YES we can however there are factors that need to be taken into consideration, see below for more detail on this. This is a very good question as upgrading a door can be less costly than buying pre-built modern fire doors especially when you are working with historic/listed doors.

Unfortunately, it’s not just a case of applying product to the panels or installing seals or new ironmongery on the door. A fire door must function as a complete engineered solution which requires comprehensive and detailed assessment, remedial and upgrade works by specialists.

There are a lot of defining factors that must be taken into consideration before we can confirm a suitable solution for your project. We would need to know factors such as:

• door thickness and material
• door dimensions
• panel thickness
• number of panels
• panel dimensions
• classification required
• door conditions
• frame details/dimensions

Each of these factors has an effect on the products you require and will be the deciding factor on whether or not you can upgrade your doors to fire doors.
