Fire Doors

What Is a Fire Exit Door and Where Is It Used?

A fire exit door is used at emergency exit points, fire stairwells and shared areas within a building, with safety as its core function. Unlike the decorative door groups, the focus here is function over aesthetics; the leaf is usually a plain painted steel panel, and most models include a vent at the bottom for airflow. The range spans double-leaf models used in the corridors of schools, hotels, hospitals and office buildings, down to single-leaf models used at apartment and small business exits.

Because usage intensity and frequency differ from other door groups, safety, durability and ease of opening are the leading design priorities here.

Color and Hardware Options

The color palette generally uses noticeable tones so the exit is easy to spot inside a building; cream, red, green, blue and grey are the most common colors in this group, with other colors available for specific project needs. On the hardware side, the panic bar is this category's defining feature — most models in the collection include a horizontal panic bar, and some carry it on both leaves. Models without a panic bar, fitted only with a cylinder lock and handle, are also available where appropriate. A few models include a wide glass panel, though most of the range is produced without glass.

Size and Installation

The standard frame opening for fire doors is 90x200 cm, finishing at 104x208 cm once trimmed. On double-leaf models, this size grows with the combined width of both leaves. Since fire door width needs to stay within a certain range for its intended use, we recommend confirming your opening on site before installation — this matters both for the panic bar mechanism sitting at the right height and for the door opening smoothly in an emergency. Removing the old door and anchoring the new frame to the wall are standard steps in the process.

What Drives the Price

Price depends on the number of leaves (single or double), whether a panic bar is fitted, whether a glass panel is added, and the color chosen. Double-leaf, panic-bar-equipped models sit at a different price level than single-leaf, simpler-hardware models since they involve more components.

Care

Caring for the plain painted steel surface just takes regular wiping with a soft cloth. Since this category functions as emergency equipment, regularly checking the panic bar mechanism and the hinges matters for the door to work reliably when needed, and keeping the vent section unobstructed preserves its airflow function.

Why Build to Measure?

Every building and corridor is designed with its own emergency exit dimensions; double-leaf corridor doors differ in width from single-leaf apartment exits. Custom production ensures the door fits your building's exact emergency exit opening and that hardware like the panic bar sits at the right height and works correctly.
