Opening Direction and Door Hand
Fire doors usually open outward. The opening direction for this door must match your project specification and the approved assembly. The existing test details describe both outward-opening escape and inward-opening exit configurations.
For the usual outward-opening arrangement, stand on the hinged side: hinges on the left indicate Left Hand, and hinges on the right indicate Right Hand. Confirm the opening direction and hand with the team before ordering.
Certification and Fire Test Details
The existing product documentation references FIRELAB cc, Pretoria, classification to SANS 1253 and testing to SANS 10177-2. It lists Class B certificate FTC 25/099 as valid until December 2030, with full report FTC 20/199 available on request.
The listed test report records 120 minutes of stability and integrity, and 60 minutes of insulation (R120/E120/I60), for the tested assembly.
The recorded assembly is a single-leaf door with a symmetric MgO (magnesium oxide) composite core and Meranti hardwood edges, in a 25 × 50mm steel frame with three hinges and a door closer. The recorded configurations are outward opening with a certified three-point panic push-bar, and inward opening with a standard lockset.
Request the certificate and full report to confirm coverage for this galvanized-clad model, your chosen size, opening direction, wall construction and hardware. Do not assume custom sizes or altered components retain the same rating.
Project Suitability and Installation
Potential applications include commercial and industrial fire-compartment boundaries, stairwells and escape routes where the project's fire strategy specifies a Class B assembly. Your fire consultant must confirm suitability and the required installation specification.
Install as the complete approved assembly, including the matching frame, three hinges, door closer and specified panic hardware or lockset. The door closer and locking hardware mentioned in the test configuration are not automatically confirmed as included in the supplied product.
