Why Buy Pre-Hung Fire Doors

Anybody undertaking a building project of any kind, be it a whole new construction or a conversion, should consider pre-hung fire doors for your project. A pre-hung doorset consists of a door leaf which has been pre-hung into a frame with its architrave, handles and locks fitted on one side. Once secured onsite into the other side of the architrave you are left with a completed, functional doorset that looks professional, smart, and stylish! These doors are pre-hung in the factory with all necessary door furniture and matched finishes, therefore just requiring the simple fitting process described to be performed onsite. Here are some of the benefits of fitting pre-hung fire doorsets to consider: 

Pre-Hung Doorsets

A completed doorset will be supplied with all the necessary components required – not just the door itself, but all the other components including the frame, the architraves and the door furniture – the leaves, hinges, brackets, handles, latches and any closing mechanisms that may be required in the case of internal fire rated doors. The door is pre-hung within the frame and the whole unit comes ready to be installed in its appropriate environment. 

Reduced Time and Cost

As the pre-hung fire doors are delivered as a single, complete unit they are ready to be installed straight away in their allotted space. This translates into reduced time and cost – fitting your pre-hung doorsets on site is far quicker and easier than traditional build methods – this saves both time and money, as there is no required adjustment for placement and attachment of the door to the frame and no need for the ‘finish’ (painting and such) after installation – and that time saving is reflected in reduced labour costs.  

Convenience

Pre-hung fire doors contribute to last stage fixing – installing pre-hung doorsets can be done at the very last stage of the construction process, thereby reducing the possibilities of any damage to them from other trades and any work still to be completed. 

Consistent Finish

The frames will be a perfect match for the door in every aspect – colour, veneer finish and grain structure as well as being complementary to any skirting and architraves selected for the room thereby completing the perfect look and feel throughout. 

Variety

Pre-hung doorsets can be bespoke manufactured so your choice is not restricted or hampered by having to choose from pre-existing stock and sizing. Established and reputable fire door suppliers and manufacturers will offer you a range of different styles and types of commercial doorsets with varied materials, appearances, and finishes. Pre-hung doorsets can be purchased as single or double doors and can be ordered in any bespoke size, so you can get the perfect doors to complement the rooms you are constructing or converting.  

Quality

When undertaking a building project, you will want the best materials and a high-end finish to your doorsets – purchasing from reputable fire door suppliers will get you a professional, quality-controlled product. You can order as many units as you need, thereby providing consistency in appearance and performance from your pre-hung fire doors throughout your building project. 

Fire Doors

When undertaking a building or construction project then it is likely there will be a fire safety element requiring some, if not all, of the doorsets to be approved fire doors. Strict building regulations exist for the health and safety aspect of any new-build or conversion, and in many instances the installation of both external and internal fire doors is mandatory and a legal requirement. When ordering bespoke pre-hung fire doors, you can be assured that they have been thoroughly manufactured and tested to the highest levels and meet all the safety requirements necessary for their full accreditation as dictated for mandatory fire safety status
