Certification
All our doors and doorsets are fully certified to recognised
performance standards. The company is accredited
to BS EN ISO 9001: 2000. All fire resisting products are
manufactured under the intensive BWF-CERTIFIRE
independent product conformity scheme. Every fire door
or doorset carries a tamper evident and fully traceable label
with clear, essential information.

Innovation
Continuing product development and an exhaustive
performance testing programme enable us to offer a wide
scope of certified doorsets. In addition to regular performance
testing by UKAS accredited independent bodies our in-
house test facility allows continuous product development
and quality assurance checks. Our test facilities include a
furnace for full size doorsets, cyclic testing rigs, as well as
equipment for assessing mechanical properties and security
performance. But this innovative approach is also applied
to customer service and procurement initiatives to meet the
challenges of today’s construction industry.

The importance of doorsets is acknowledged by BS 8214:
                                                                     on site with doorsets over unitary component assemblies.
1990 ‘Code of practice for fire door assemblies with non-
metallic leaves’:
“It is strongly recommended that pre-hung, pre-finished,             “There is an overwhelming case for the use of performance

normal factory quality control procedures to be applied to
the finishing operations.”

BS 8214 calls for testing of complete fire door assemblies or
doorsets, fully representative of all aspects of how they will be
used on site. For door assemblies, this is far more problematic
with potential for combinations of mismatched, uncertified
components and poor site practices. In addition to fire
resistance, other performance criteria can be achieved and
maintained more easily with doorsets, including:
• smoke containment
• sound reduction
• durability

This is due to the factory finishing, matching and fitting
of the various components which work together to meet
performance levels. Other guidance documents recognise
this, such as HTM 58 Internal Doorsets:
“The high performance standards required of door leaves,
frames and ironmongery in health buildings can best be met
when these components are accurately fitted and matched
in a factory and delivered to site as a complete unit (i.e.
doorset).”

Independent research has addressed commonly held
misconceptions about the capital costs of doorsets by using
an objective comparison of realistic, current market prices
