Why Single-Source Fire Doorsets are Essential for Compliance and Safety
Fire Door Safety Week is a timely reminder that fire doors are not just another building component—they are a life-saving system. The tragic events of Grenfell demonstrated the devastating impact when fire safety measures fail, reinforcing the need for robust compliance, clear accountability, and properly tested solutions across the built environment.
In today’s regulatory landscape, with the Building Safety Act and the principle of the Golden Thread, the role of fire doorsets has never been more critical. Facilities managers, contractors, and building owners must be able to demonstrate that every fire door installed is tested, certified, and fully traceable throughout its lifecycle.
The Case for Single-Source Fire Doorsets
One of the biggest risks in fire protection is the “piecemeal approach”—sourcing a door leaf from one supplier, a frame from another, and ironmongery from elsewhere. While each component may meet individual standards, the complete system is often untested. This creates compliance gaps and weakens performance.
- Doorfit addresses this challenge with Protus fire doorsets.
- Fully integrated systems – door, frame, and ironmongery supplied together.
- Certified and tested as one unit – ensuring compliance and reliability.
- Clear accountability – one supplier, one warranty, one compliance trail.
- Aligned with the Golden Thread – documentation and traceability from specification through to installation and ongoing inspection.
By providing a complete, single-source solution, Doorfit reduces risk for building owners and simplifies compliance for facilities managers, while helping contractors deliver projects with confidence.
