What are the Australian standards for fire-rated doors?

In Australia, fire-rated doors must comply with AS 1905.1. This standard sets requirements for the door, frame, and hardware — including mandatory automatic door closers — and requires fire doors to withstand direct flame exposure for up to two hours. Fire doors in non-domestic buildings must also adhere to AS 1428.1 (disability access) and BCA Part D1 (escape provisions).

Do I need a fire-rated door or a BAL-rated door?

The choice depends on your building's specific fire protection requirements. A fire-rated door (AS 1905) is required where compartmentalisation of fire is needed within or between buildings. A BAL-rated door is required in bushfire attack level zones where the door must resist ember attack, radiant heat, and direct flame contact from an external bushfire. Larnec can help identify the appropriate solution for your project.

What fire resistance ratings are available for Larnec fire doors?

Larnec fire doors are available with fire resistance ratings from 60 minutes through to 120 minutes, to suit a range of building types and compliance requirements.

Can Larnec fire doors be customised to fit specific site requirements?

Yes. Larnec fire doors can be customised to suit specific site requirements, including non-standard sizes and a choice of Colorbond steel colours and finishes. Hardware and accessories can also be upgraded to meet additional functional or security needs.

How often should fire doors be inspected and maintained?

Hinged and pivoted fire-resistant door sets must be inspected on a six-monthly basis. Horizontal sliding fire door sets must be inspected every three months. Larnec can arrange fire door inspections and maintenance on a schedule that suits your site requirements.

What materials are used in Larnec fire doors?

Larnec fire doors feature dual-skin steel cladding with an E-Core fire-resistant core material, fire-rated seals, stainless steel butt hinges, and compatible fire-rated hardware and frames. The Sentry 700.80 is the flagship fire door model and is designed to meet AS 1905 standards.

What colour finishes are available for Larnec fire doors?

Larnec fire doors are available in the full range of Colorbond steel classic and matte colours, allowing the door finish to be matched to site aesthetics.
