🔥 WHY FIRE DOORS ARE A SYSTEM — NOT A PRODUCT
The Simple Truth
A fire door only works if every part works together.
A door leaf on its own is not a fire door.
A compliant fire door is a system of interdependent components, and if any one fails, the entire system fails.
That’s the distinction most suppliers still don’t understand — and why Premier can dominate the market.
1️⃣ What People THINK a Fire Door Is
❌ A door leaf
❌ A fire rating label
❌ A product you buy and install
This thinking is outdated — and legally dangerous.
2️⃣ What a Fire Door actually Is (Legally & Practically)
A fire door is a tested, certified system made up of:
🔹 Core Components
Door leaf
Frame
Intumescent & smoke seals
Hinges
Locks & latches
Closers
Ironmongery
Glazing (if applicable)
Installation method
Ongoing inspection & maintenance
Each part:
Is tested together
Has performance limits
Must be installed in a specific way
Must be maintained correctly
➡️ If one part is wrong, the door fails as a system.
Tested to Destruction,
So You’re Protected in an Emergency.
Many doors look the same but only fire-rated doors are tested to resist fire and smoke. Don’t gamble with safety.
