More than just hanging doors
Think fitting a fire door is the same as fitting any other door? Think again.
A fire door is an important part of a building's fire protection strategy. When correctly specified, installed and maintained as part of a suitable assembly, it helps resist the spread of fire and smoke.
And that means the person installing it has a pretty important job.
Fire door installers combine practical trade skills with specialist technical knowledge. It's a career where attention to detail matters, every installation presents a different challenge and quality workmanship makes a genuine difference.
Whether you're already working in carpentry or looking to develop specialist skills, fire door installation offers a career path worth exploring.
What does a fire door installer actually do?
No two working days are exactly the same, but here's a taste of what you could be doing.
Getting Everything Just Right
Measuring openings, preparing frames and ensuring fire door assemblies are installed accurately in accordance with the relevant specifications and instructions.
Working With Specialist Components
Fitting and checking suitable hinges, door closers, locks, seals and other essential fire door components.
Solving Practical Problems
Working through installation challenges, identifying defects and knowing when something needs further technical guidance rather than a quick fix.
