What is a fire door?

A fire door is a fire-rated closure within a wall opening designed to contain the spread of fire and smoke for a defined period. Unlike standard doors, fire doors are tested and approved as a complete assembly — door leaf, frame, hardware and seals form an inseparable unit that was tested as a whole in a standard fire test to EN 1634-1. Every component contributes to the fire-resistance rating; a single non-approved swap — a different closer, a missing seal — invalidates the entire approval. Smoke-control doors (RS per DIN 18095) limit the passage of smoke but not heat; they are mandated wherever escape routes must stay smoke-free. Emergency exit hardware to EN 1125 enables fast escape via a horizontal push bar that opens with a single motion — a prerequisite for assembly venues and spaces with non-regular users. Both functions can be combined with fire resistance — for example as a T30-RS panic door in an office stairwell, or as a T90-RS door between two fire compartments of a production hall. The specification is always governed by the fire protection concept for the building and by the applicable state building code — in North Rhine-Westphalia the BauO NRW, plus the special construction ordinances for assembly venues, hospitals, high-rises and industrial buildings.

↳ Fire-resistance classes

T30, T60, T90 — the right protection goal.

The minute rating describes how long the door withstands fire and heat in the standard test. The German DIN 4102 classifies T30 / T60 / T90; the European EN 13501-2 classifies EI₂30 / EI₂60 / EI₂90.

T30
30 minutes

The most common specification. For escape and rescue routes, corridor walls, plant rooms, underground car parks and apartment entrance doors.

T30 door →
T60
60 minutes

Special buildings and protected areas with elevated fire load — industry, archives, server rooms, transformer stations.

T60 door →
T90
90 minutes

High-risk areas and fire walls per § 28 BauO NRW. Industry, petrol stations, warehouses with hazardous substances.
