Installation process of fire-resistant steel doors

Installing fire-resistant steel doors plays a crucial role in protecting lives and property in the event of a fire. However, many people wonder if the installation of fire-resistant steel doors is difficult.

In this article, we will explore the process of installing fire-resistant steel doors and important considerations.

Standard preparation steps for installing fire-resistant steel doors:

Before starting the installation process, you need to determine the fire resistance level, door dimensions, installation location, and comply with regulations and standards for fire safety. To ensure a safe and effective installation process, follow the sequence of steps outlined below.

Step 1: Gather, transport the door to the construction site.

After measuring at the construction site, the steel wood grain door will be sent for production and handed over to the contractor or user. As the steel doors with wood grain have a large mass and a surface prone to scratches, the supplier will pack and apply a protective layer to the door before transportation.

Note that door transportation must be extremely careful due to the door’s weight. The door gathering area should be flat, without protruding sharp objects, and free of obstacles to avoid collisions that may cause the door to bend or deform.

Step 2: Prepare installation tools:

As fire-resistant doors, various tools are required for installation, including: rubber hammer, iron hammer; wrench, adjustable wrench, hex key, pliers; electric drill; expanding foam, expanding iron, screws; silicone adhesive; wall fitting pad…

Thorough preparation is essential because the absence of any of these tools can make the installation difficult or even impossible.

Step 3: Thoroughly check the door product and accompanying accessories.

Before proceeding with the installation, you need to carefully check the product. This check should be conducted by both technicians and the site owner to ensure that the product is intact and complete, check accessories such as latch locks, emergency exit bars, screw caps, and whether the door tag is intact, and promptly address any issues to ensure the quality and aesthetics of the door.

Step 4: Check the site and proceed with the installation.

In this step, the main task is to remeasure the dimensions of the waiting opening to understand the dimensions and determine which door leaf is suitable for this area. Once the measurement is complete, the installation can proceed.

Installation of fire-resistant doors according to standard procedures:

Fixing the frame to the wall: After checking and ensuring suitability, the installer will fix the frame by screwing it at the specified reinforcement positions. Installing hinges: This step aims to fix the door leaf to the frame. During this step, the installer must carefully apply various methods and techniques to ensure that the installation of the door leaf on the frame is beautiful and precise.

Step 5: Assemble door accessories:

Assemble the accompanying accessories: Complete the assembly of fire-resistant door accessories such as hydraulic door closers, emergency exit bars, peepholes, locks, etc. Among them, the hydraulic door closer is the most important accessory and should be prioritized for installation first.

Complete the installation of the door lock: After installing the lock on the door leaf, proceed to install the stainless steel pad on the frame. In this step, the technician needs to adjust the height so that the lock mouth aligns with the hole in the stainless steel, then proceed to close the door. If the latch does not fit into the hole, proceed to file or grind to ensure a more accurate installation.

Step 6: Complete the door, clean up the installation site

After installing the door, the technician needs to recheck the fire-resistant door. This check is to ensure the smooth operation of the door, no remaining gaps, and the door leaf is intact. After that, proceed to clean up the site for project acceptance.
