Certified Fire-Rated Doors

Fire Doors are engineered and tested to prevent the spread of fire in a building. The Spence fire-rated door range covers up to 2 Hours of protection to allow sufficient evacuation time. We manufacture and supply the complete door set; this is the door leaf, frame, and cutouts for hardware.

No Need for Fire Bolts

All Spence fire doors are manufactured using a proprietary core that maintains fire resistance without the need for Fire Bolts. This is important for both safety and compliance given that an activated Fire Bolt fixes the door shut. This creates a greater barrier to entry for the fire department who are not issuing occupancy permits where fire bolts are used but also poses a safety concern if fire bolts are accidentally triggered where there is no fire and trap occupants inside.  In addition, if fire bolts are accidentally triggered, the door and jamb cannot easily be removed and replaced creating significant inconvenience and unwanted expense.

Tested Hardware Options

To complement our fire door range, we have one of the largest sets of hardware in the Australian market tested for use on our doors. This gives spec flexibility as there are more options to choose from when pairing the preferred hardware with a fire door.  This is important given that a door is only fully fire compliant if the hardware has been tested with the core used in manufacturing the fire door in the preferred configuration.  For example, door hardware may be ok to use on a single leaf but non-compliant on a pair door.

Custom Made Doors

All Spence Fire doors are custom made.  To ensure compliance the chosen function, leaf number, frame type, skin, cladding accessories, wall time, frame dimensions and hardware all need to have been tested with the core that is used to manufacture the door.  As a result, Spence can offer compliant fire door sets that cover the following variations:

• Function (Standard Swing, Pivot, Double-Acting etc.)
• Leaf number (Single or Pair Door)
• Frame type (Pressed Metal or Timber)
• Door skin (MDF, Ply, Hardboard etc.)
• Cladding (Metal and Veneers)
• Accessories (Vision Panels, Ventilation Grilles)
• Wall type (Stud, Masonry, Concrete etc.)
• Frame Extensions (Transom, Mullion)
