Our Sliding Fire Door Services
We design, supply, and install custom-manufactured sliding fire doors that are tailored to the unique requirements of your building. Whether it’s a mining site, warehouse, manufacturing plant, or commercial complex, we ensure every door fits perfectly within your existing structure and integrates seamlessly with your facility’s operations. Our installations are carried out to meet strict AS1905.1 compliance, giving you peace of mind that your fire protection measures are both reliable and legally compliant.
Sliding fire doors are critical safety assets, and their performance depends on regular care. We provide comprehensive servicing, adjustments, and repairs to keep your doors operating smoothly and meeting AS1905.1 and NCC2019 C3.6(a) requirements. From replacing worn track components to recalibrating electromagnetic hold-open devices, our maintenance services help prevent costly downtime and ensure your sliding fire doors are ready to function when it matters most.
Fire safety standards evolve over time, and older doors may not meet the latest requirements. Our compliance upgrade services bring your sliding fire doors in line with current regulations, including the installation of electromagnetic hold-open devices that automatically release and close the door within 20–30 seconds during an emergency, as required by the NCC. We also assess and upgrade seals, structural fixings, and operational mechanisms so your doors not only meet the law but perform at their highest level of protection.
