1HR Fire-Rated Door Set (Pair)
The complete door set for 1 hour of fire resistance featuring dual door leafs.
2HR Fire-Rated Door Set (Pair)
The complete double-door set tested and certified for two hours of fire resistance in accorance with AS 1530.4:2014. Suitable for application in commercial, industrial, and residential spaces. This door set is applicable to Pair Doors for all fire-resistant functions including the separation of a building’s fire compartments, protection of exit routes, and high fire risk areas such as kitchens and laboratories. Spence Doors’ manufacturing capabilities are suited to bulk manufacture of this door set custom to its purpose in your project.
Overview
The Pair Door configuration features Two Door Leafs + 1.6mm Pressed Metal Frame + Leading Edge Meeting Stiles. The door leaf may is 48mm thick and may be up to 2700mm x 1350 / 1350mm for a standard swing doorset. Featuring a Pyropanel fire-resistant core with a Hardboard or Greenboard internal frame. All other features are customisable including frame function, door skins & cladding, and inclusion of accessories and hardware.
Compliance
All Spence Doors’ Fire-Rated doors feature intumescent seals around the internal frame; designed to expand under exposure to extreme heat. Paired with a Pyropanel fire-resistant core, this forms a door set capable of maintaining its fire resistance without the need for Fire Bolts. This is imperative for the door’s safety as an activated Fire Bolt fixes the door shut thereby rendering it inoperable. This poses a safety concern on two fronts:
- If occupants had not evacuated in time, they are now trapped in this room with the intended point of egress now inaccessible.
- The fire department also have a greater barrier to gain access from the other direction.
Pair Doors also present a new gap for fire passage relative to single door sets. The vertical section between the two door leafs must be sealed in order to uphold tested and certified Fire-Rated standards. This is fulfilled with Meeting Stiles fitted along each leaf's leading edge.

Standard Configurations
The standard configurations Spence Doors will quote as defined by the setting and requirements of its application. These door sets are made-to-order and so can be customised to suit your project, these are the starting configurations of door leaf, skin, frame, and cladding curated for typical application suitability and budget considerations.
An internal door in low-moisture spaces is typically fitted with MDF skins. This is the most effective material and is a smooth substrate that hosts a uniform paint finish for premium design spaces.
Skin: MDF
Frame: 1.6mm Zincanneal
Cladding: None
Internal spaces exposed to high moisture such as bathrooms are fitted with FR Ply skins. This is a species of Plywood tested and certified specially for fire resistance. Ply offers far greater hydroponic / moisture-resistant qualities than MDF and thereby can withstand exposure to moisture without warping.
Skin: FR Ply
Frame: 1.6mm Zincanneal
Cladding: None
A configuration for interior settings that require maximum protection against external factors. Metal Clad facings provide an additional protective measure to extend the door set’s lifespan and mitigate the risk of direct impact or intrusion. This suited to the likes of Security Rooms or sensitive areas in Commercial or Industrial spaces.
Skin: FR Ply
Frame: 1.6mm Zincanneal
Cladding: 0.55mm Zincanneal Metal Faces
This door set may be installed in sheltered outdoors spaces. Such spaces are exposed to the elements and so must be fitted with FR Ply skins provided their moisture-resistant quality.
