CFP Carpentry & Fire Prevention recently completed a new FD30 ply flush fire exit door installation at KrashTechnic in Poole.
The client required a replacement fire exit door to provide a safe and reliable escape route in the event of a fire. Our team installed a new FD30 ply flush fire door, complete with Grade 13 fire rated hinges and a Union push pad for quick emergency exit.
As with all fire door and fire exit works, the door hardware, frame, signage and final operation all need to be considered together. A fire exit door must be suitable for day-to-day use while also allowing people to leave quickly and safely when required.
CFP carries out fire door installation, fire door remedial works and fire door surveys for commercial, industrial, residential and managed properties across Dorset and the South.
New FD30 Fire Exit Door Installed
For this project, a new FD30 ply flush fire door was installed to the fire exit at KrashTechnic. FD30 fire doors are designed to provide 30 minutes of fire resistance when installed correctly as part of a suitable door assembly.
The new door was fitted with the required fire rated ironmongery, including Grade 13 fire rated hinges. Correct hinge selection is important because the hinges help support the fire door leaf and form part of the overall fire door performance.
You can read more about fire door ratings in our guide to FD30 and FD60 fire door specifications.
Union Push Pad for Emergency Escape
A Union push pad was installed to the door to allow quick escape in the event of a fire. Push pad exit hardware is commonly used on fire exit doors where the door needs to remain secure but still be simple to open from the escape side.
Clear “push pad to open” and fire exit signage was also fitted, helping users identify the door operation quickly and clearly.
Works Carried Out
- Installed a new FD30 ply flush fire exit door
- Fitted Grade 13 fire rated hinges
- Installed a Union push pad for emergency escape
- Fitted fire exit and push pad signage
- Checked the door operation after installation
- Ensured the door could be used safely as part of the escape route
Fire Exit Door Installation for Commercial Premises
Commercial premises need fire exit doors that are practical, clearly signed and suitable for the building layout. In workshops, retail units, warehouses and commercial buildings, fire exit doors can be exposed to regular use, changing weather conditions and general wear over time.
Replacing a damaged, unsuitable or worn fire exit door helps keep escape routes usable and supports the wider fire safety strategy for the premises.
CFP also installs and maintains metal fire doors and fire exit doors for commercial and industrial sites where a more robust external door solution is required.

This project shows the importance of using suitable components when installing a fire exit door. The FD30 door leaf, fire rated hinges, push pad hardware and signage all help create a practical and safer escape route for the building.
