Frequently Asked Questions
Do external doors need to be fire-rated?
In most residential settings, external doors do not need to be fire-rated, as fire doors are primarily required for internal areas to slow the spread of fire. However, if your property has specific building regulations, such as in shared entrances, flats, or commercial buildings, a fire-rated external door may be required. Always check local building regulations for compliance.
Can external doors open outwards?
Yes, external doors can open outwards, and in some cases, it is preferred for security and space-saving reasons. Outward-opening doors are commonly used in areas with extreme weather conditions as they provide better wind resistance. However, if you’re changing the door’s swing direction, you may need to adjust hinges, locks, and the surrounding frame.
Can I use an internal door externally?
Internal doors are not suitable for external use. External doors are designed with weatherproofing, insulation, and security in mind, whereas internal doors lack the necessary strength and durability to withstand outdoor elements. Using an internal door externally can lead to warping, swelling, and reduced security.
Do I need planning permission to add an external door?
In most cases, you do not need planning permission to add or replace an external door on your property. However, if your home is listed, in a conservation area, or part of a larger renovation project, you may need approval from your local planning authority. If structural changes are involved, building regulations must also be considered.
How long does it take to fit an external door?
Fitting an external door typically takes 2 to 5 hours, depending on the complexity of the installation. If the door frame needs replacing or additional adjustments are required, it may take longer.
