Fire Door & Commercial Door Installation
Expert door installation for safe compliant buildings 
Our installation team understands what causes fire doors to fail inspections because we inspect hundreds of fire doors every year. That experience allows us to install doors with compliance, durability and long-term performance in mind, not simply to complete the installation.
Correct installation is essential to the performance of any fire door. Even the highest quality certified fire door may not perform as intended if it is installed incorrectly.
At Approved Door Consultancy, we provide professional installation of fire doors, complete doorsets and specialist commercial doors across a wide range of buildings. Our experienced installers follow manufacturers’ installation instructions, recognised industry best practice and relevant fire safety guidance to ensure every installation is completed to the highest possible standard.
Whether you require a single replacement fire door or the installation of multiple doorsets as part of a refurbishment or new-build project, we can provide a reliable, compliant and professional installation service.
Not sure what you need? Our specialists can advise on fire door inspections, compliance surveys, replacement doors and action plans.

Fire Door Installation You Can Rely On
Every fire door is designed and tested as part of a complete fire-resisting assembly. Achieving the required level of fire performance depends upon the correct installation of every component.
Our installation teams pay careful attention to every aspect of the installation process, including:
- Accurate surveying and measuring (if employed to do so).
- Correct frame installation and fixing methods.
- Appropriate fixing centres and fixings.
- Suitable gaps and clearances.
- Installation of certified intumescent and smoke seals.
- Compatible hinges, locks, closers and ironmongery.
- Correct installation of glazing systems where applicable.
- Final adjustment, testing and commissioning.
By following manufacturers’ guidance throughout the installation process, we help maximise the long-term performance reliability and service life of every door we install.
