Engineered for the demands of busy educational environments, our school fire doors deliver dependable fire protection for classrooms, corridors, halls and stairwells. Ideal for schools, colleges, universities, new-build projects and refurbishments across the UK, they help contain fire and smoke so students and staff can evacuate safely. As a UK manufacturer rather than a reseller, QDoors supplies fully certified internal school fire doors and ready-made doorsets in FD30 and FD60 ratings at factory-direct prices.

Fast-track doorsets for school projects

We know education projects work to tight timetables, often during short holiday windows. That is why our ready-made school doorsets, complete with glazing where required, can be ordered for quick, straightforward on-site installation. The door leaf, frame, intumescent and smoke seals and ironmongery arrive as one matched, certified system, removing the risk of mismatched components and keeping your fit-out on schedule.

Built for high-traffic educational environments

School doors take a relentless amount of use, slammed, knocked and pushed open hundreds of times a day. Our internal school fire doors are built to withstand this constant wear while maintaining their fire integrity. Because we manufacture in-house, we control quality at every stage and offer the consistent stock, competitive pricing and short lead times that school construction and refurbishment projects across the UK depend on.

Our school fire door range

Laminate fire doors. Hard-wearing, scuff-resistant and easy to clean, laminate is the natural choice for high-traffic school corridors and classrooms. Available in Formica, Polyrey and Egger finishes, from bright solid colours for wayfinding to realistic woodgrains.

Veneer fire doors. For libraries, reception areas, staff rooms and university faculty spaces, our real-wood Oak, Walnut, Ash, Beech and Sapele veneer doors offer a warmer, premium finish.

School fire doors with glass. Our glazed and vision panel fire doors improve sightlines and supervision in corridors and classrooms while maintaining full fire integrity. School fire doors with glass are a practical safeguarding and safety feature, letting staff see into rooms and bringing natural light into circulation areas. Available in a range of apertures, including 3G, 7G, 8G, 16G, 18G and 20G styles, along with the classic Pattern 10, and supplied ready-glazed within our fast-fit doorsets.

Doors are available in FD30 and FD60 ratings, in 44mm and 54mm thicknesses, across a full range of standard sizes, with bespoke sizing on request.

FD30 vs FD60, which fire rating does a school need?

School fire doors are rated by how long they resist fire. An FD30 door provides 30 minutes of fire resistance and is suitable for most internal applications in schools, while an FD60 door provides 60 minutes and is specified for higher-risk areas and certain compartment walls. The correct rating for your building should be confirmed by your fire risk assessment, and our team can help you specify.

Where are fire doors required in schools?

In educational buildings, fire doors are required wherever the building is divided into fire compartments or where escape routes must be protected. Typical locations include protected corridors and stairwells, doors onto escape routes, walls between compartments, and higher-risk areas such as plant rooms, kitchens, science labs and storage. Schools also need to account for the safe, prompt evacuation of large numbers of children. Requirements are set out in Building Regulations Approved Document B and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and exact locations should be confirmed by a fire risk assessment.

Certified and fully compliant

Fire safety in schools leaves no room for compromise. Our school fire doors are tested and certified for fire performance and supplied with full documentation, and we hold IFC fire door certification.
