Installation process / overview
What to check at each stage
This overview helps customers and installers plan the work. Follow the complete instructions for the exact supplied product.
Inspect and store correctly
Check the product and packaging promptly and report visible damage. Store as instructed, away from damp and weather. Avoid installing timber doorsets while wet trades are still drying.
Check the opening and components
The installer should check that the supporting construction, opening, frame and specified components suit the tested or assessed assembly. Do not substitute parts without evidence permitting the change.
Follow the tested detail
Frame position, fixings, packers, operating gaps and perimeter fire stopping must follow the instructions for the exact product. The PDF's Stredor dimensions are not universal.
Check operation and records
Have the installer check alignment, closing and latching, seals, glazing and fitted ironmongery. Keep the product identification, instructions and completion records.
Keep the door effective
Do not wedge it open or make unapproved alterations. Arrange the ongoing checks and maintenance appropriate to the building and its requirements.
Choosing a fitter
How to find the right fire door installer
Fire Safety Store North West supplies products online. We do not fit, inspect or certify installed doors. Choose an installer who can demonstrate competence for the particular product, building and work.
Explore BM TRADA's installation scheme ↗- Ask about relevant experience with the fire door or doorset construction and type of opening.
- Check current certification where claimed. Verify the company and the scope of its certification directly with the certification body.
- Provide the full document pack before quoting: door schedule, manufacturer instructions, supporting evidence, frame and hardware details.
- Request a written scope and handover. Confirm who supplies compatible parts, handles perimeter fire stopping and records the completed installation.
- Ask how unexpected site conditions will be handled. The installer should seek the relevant manufacturer's or designer's guidance instead of improvising beyond the approved detail.

Quick answers
Installation questions
Can I use this PDF for every fire door sold on the website?
No. The PDF identifies a specific Falcon Panel Products Stredor doorset system. Use it only where it applies to the delivered product, alongside its current manufacturer instructions and supporting evidence. Ask us for the relevant product documents if there is a mismatch.
Does buying a fire-rated leaf make an installed opening compliant?
No. Performance depends on the specified complete assembly, compatible parts, supporting structure, correct installation and ongoing condition. A leaf alone does not establish the performance of the installed opening.
Can you book an installer?
We do not provide installation services or book installers. Use the checks above and verify any claimed certification directly with the scheme provider before appointing a company.
What if the opening differs from the guide?
Do not guess a packing or sealing method. The installer should check the applicable product evidence and obtain guidance from the manufacturer, designer or another appropriate competent party before proceeding.
