How Fire Door Manufacturers Are Responding to Industry Challenges

Strongdor BS 673 Standards

Current Challenges Facing Fire Door Manufacturers

Fire door manufacturers are under increasing pressure due to stricter fire safety regulations, heightened compliance requirements, and growing scrutiny following recent fire safety incidents. These challenges have amplified the industry’s focus on delivering fire doors that meet rigorous standards for performance, durability, and safety.

Rushanara Ali’s Statement on Fire Door Safety

Rushanara Ali MP highlights the critical importance of maintaining high standards across the fire door supply chain:

Fire doors save lives. But for them to do their job, they need to be manufactured, installed and maintained to the highest possible standards. Too often, that isn’t happening.”

Her statement underscores the urgent need for improvements in fire door manufacturing, installation, and maintenance to ensure building safety.

Strongdor’s Commitment to Fire Door Quality and Compliance

At Strongdor, we are committed to providing certified fire doors that exceed current fire safety regulations. Our fire doors are rigorously tested and independently certified to ensure they perform reliably under fire conditions, protecting lives and property.

We collaborate with architects, specifiers, and contractors to support fire door specification and compliance, helping deliver safer building projects.

Industry Trends Driving Fire Door Innovation

Enhanced Testing and Certification Processes

Fire door manufacturers face increasingly stringent testing requirements and must achieve certifications that verify product performance and safety.

Advances in Fire Door Materials and Durability

Innovations in materials and design help improve the longevity and fire resistance of fire doors, ensuring they remain effective throughout their service life.

Resources for Specifiers and Contractors

Strongdor provides a comprehensive range of technical documentation, BIM objects, and specification guides to support the correct selection and installation of fire doors. These resources help minimise specification errors and ensure regulatory compliance.
