What to Coordinate Before Ordering
Fire door performance depends on the complete doorset and how it is installed, labelled, used, inspected, and maintained. Early coordination helps avoid late changes that can affect compliance or delay site work.
Rating & Location
Confirm the required FRR, wall type, direction of escape, smoke-control needs, and whether the opening sits in a corridor, stair, compartment boundary, or service area.
Door Set Components
Frames, seals, closers, hinges, latches, vision panels, side lights, over panels, signage, and access-control hardware must be compatible with the selected certified solution.
Documentation & Handover
Fire doors usually need clear documentation for the builder, installer, building consent process, and ongoing inspection or maintenance records.

Fire Door FAQs
Useful guidance for project teams planning certified doorsets.
Is a fire-rated door leaf enough on its own?
No. Fire performance depends on the complete certified doorset, including the door leaf, frame, seals, hinges, closer, and any related hardware.
Can fire doors include vision panels or side lights?
Yes, depending on the selected doorset solution and certification pathway. These features need to be coordinated as part of the overall fire door specification.
When should fire doors be discussed in a project?
As early as possible. Early coordination helps align rating requirements, frame type, hardware, access needs, and installation planning.
Can Brightwater Joinery help with technical documentation requests?
Yes. The team can help with requests for data sheets, order forms, installation guidance, and related technical information.
