A correctly installed fire door is a critical part of a building’s passive fire protection system. It is designed to help contain fire and smoke, protect escape routes and provide occupants with valuable time to evacuate safely.
At Black Cat Group, we provide professional fire door installation using appropriate certified doorsets, compatible components and manufacturer-approved installation methods.
Whether you need a single replacement fire door or installation across a commercial, residential or communal building, our work is carried out with safety, compliance and attention to detail at every stage.

A fire door is more than just the door leaf. The complete fire door assembly can include:
Every component needs to be compatible with the specific fire-door assembly. Incorrect components, poor fitting or unauthorised alterations can compromise the door's tested performance.
We assess the opening, existing frame, wall construction and intended use of the door before installation.
We also check the required fire performance and review the manufacturer's certification and installation requirements.
Before installation, the door, frame, seals and hardware are checked for damage and compatibility.
We use components specified or permitted by the relevant manufacturer's certification and installation instructions.
The door assembly is installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and the building's requirements, with particular attention is given to:
Once installed, the door is checked to ensure it operates correctly and closes properly onto the latch.
We also check that seals, hardware and other essential components are correctly fitted and that there are no obvious defects that could affect performance.
We can assist with fire door installation in a range of settings, including:
Fire doors should be installed by people who are competent and appropriately trained. Installation must follow the specific requirements of the door manufacturer's certification and instructions.
Never assume that a standard door, frame or item of ironmongery is suitable simply because it is described as "fire rated". Compatibility with the particular fire-door assembly is essential.
Building work involving fire safety must take account of the applicable Building Regulations and guidance. In England, Approved Document B provides statutory guidance covering fire safety in and around buildings.
Fire-door requirements can vary according to the building, location, escape strategy and specification, so the correct fire-resistance and smoke-control performance should always be established before installation.
