The LPD Doors 4P Solid Core FD30 Internal Door is designed for homeowners and contractors prioritizing both traditional aesthetics and essential safety in residential or commercial settings. Its primary benefit is the certified 30-minute fire resistance, which offers critical protection without sacrificing a classic four-panel visual appeal.

FAQs
What does FD30 mean?
FD30 indicates that the door has been tested to provide 30 minutes of fire resistance, helping to contain fire and smoke within a room.
Can I trim this door to fit my opening?
You can trim the door slightly, but you must strictly follow the manufacturer's maximum trimming allowance to maintain the fire-rating integrity.
Is this door suitable for bathrooms?

Do I need special hinges for this door?
Yes, due to the weight of the solid core, you must use heavy-duty, fire-rated hinges to ensure the door remains secure and operable.
Does the door come pre-finished?

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installing an FD30 door requires precision and adherence to fire safety regulations. Ensure the door frame is compatible with a fire-rated door and that appropriate intumescent seals are installed to maintain the FD30 certification.
- Hardware: Use at least three high-quality, fire-rated hinges to support the door's weight.
- Trimming: Always consult the manufacturer's guidelines before trimming, as removing too much material can compromise the fire-rated core.
- Compatibility: Verify that your door casing is plumb and level to ensure the door closes properly against the fire seals.
- Care: Clean the surface using a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, which can affect the finish. For minor scuffs, use a wood-safe touch-up marker that matches the brown tone.
