Considerations when specifying doorsets

Design considerations

In order to facilitate this process we manufacture all doorsets to individual orders, allowing differences in size, configuration and construction to be accommodated.

As size, configuration, door construction and performance are all interrelated, we are keen to discuss specific requirements at the earliest stages of a project. As a guide, individual doors with a maximum width of 1300mm or a maximum height of 3000mm can be provided. Where doors only are required for refurbishment and upgrade projects, oversize lippings can be included to allow for on-site adjustment.

Doors and doorsets can be produced in single or paired configurations and in either single or double action modes.

For unique solutions to meet the disabled access requirements of the Building Regulations Part M, refer to the Pivette doorset on page 28. Overpanels or glazed fanlights can be incorporated within doorset configurations. Where required, lippings are selected and finished to match or contrast the door and can either be exposed or concealed.

Configurations and handings

The drawings below set out the terminology for typical doorset configurations and handings for use in specifications. Configuration, size, construction and performance characteristics are all interrelated. Specific size ranges for particular products can be found in individual product BWF-CERTIFIRE data sheets.
