External Fire Doors

Learn more about external fire doors

External fire doors are used where a fire-rated door is required on an external opening, helping projects meet the relevant job specification when selected and installed correctly. For trade jobs, choosing the right external fire door means checking the door type, stated rating, opening size, frame requirements, hardware compatibility and installation guidance before procurement. 

Within our range, you can find external fire doors for different building requirements, with product information available to help confirm suitability. Always check the individual specification and any project or regulatory requirements before ordering, as performance depends on the complete doorset and correct installation.

Typical uses

• External openings where the project specification requires a fire-rated door. 

• Refurbishment jobs where an existing external door is being replaced as part of wider fire safety works. 

• Door installations that also require suitable fire-rated door frames for the opening. 

• Projects where internal routes may also need internal fire doors. 

How to choose the right external fire doors

• Check the product specification to confirm the stated fire rating, size, finish and intended application. 

• Match the door to the opening, building type and project requirements before adding it to your order list. 

• Confirm whether the door must be used with specific frames, linings, seals, ironmongery or glazing to meet the required performance. 

• Review whether the product is supplied as a door leaf or as part of a wider doorset, where stated. 

• Check compatibility with surrounding joinery, including door lining and casings where relevant. 

• Make sure installation is carried out in line with the manufacturer’s guidance and the project specification. 

• Confirm availability before ordering, especially where matching sizes or multiple units are required for the same job. 

Before you order

• Measure the opening carefully and compare it with the stated product dimensions. 

• Check the required fire rating, door handing, thickness and finish against the job spec. 

• Confirm what additional components are needed, including compatible frame, fire door ironmongery, and door closers where required. 

• Review handling and storage guidance before the door arrives on site. 

• Plan collection or delivery around site access, installation sequencing and follow-on trades.
