Why Complete Doorsets
We will only supply a fire doorset that has primary test evidence, this allows us to make sure that every fire door is factory calibrated.
Our production line specifically caters to manufacturing large quantities of complete fire doorsets, this allows us to use the latest in computer aided technology to accurately CNC machine our door blades to very tight tolerances ready for glazing, finishing and to fit ironmongery. This is one of the reasons why our fire doorsets regularly exceed test times by up to 40%.
Complete Fire Doorsets
Our Fire Doors are Fully Factory Finished, allowing our product to meet the exact requirements.
Door Gaps
Door gaps are one of the most common failure issue with fire door compliance, we provide a complete fire door set that is a finished unit where ‘door gaps’ have passed our quality assurance and meet industry standards.
Ironmongery
Our doorsets are delivered with all ironmongery factory fitted, removing the risk of error on-site and speeding up
the installation process.
Secure By Design - SBD
SBD is the official police security initiative, which provides a recognised standard for all security products that can deter and reduce crime.
Factory Finish
Unlike many new fire doors that are supplied in a primed state, our doorsets are all veneered (if required) or painted to your specification using our state of the art automated paint line.
Hinges
CE marking is often spoken about with respect to hinges, it is an easy check point for inspectors.
Glazing
Fully factory glazed to meet either 30 or 60 minute requirements, with double-glazing available for external products.
No Assembly
We only manufacture complete factory finished doorsets with no requirement
for on-site finishing or machining
for ironmongery.
No Finishing

the customer.

Installation
West Port work closely with 3rd party accredited Installers throughout the UK offering a quick and efficient installation process that complies with UK GOV regulations. Installation data can be uploaded to the CCS app along with individual door allocation to a specific site address, creating a life cycle of thefire door.
Remedial Work
During the life time of a fire door components like closers, door handles, intumescent strips can become damaged and require repair or replacement, door gaps might require adjustment this remedial work keeps a fire door compliant and ready to save lives. West Port’s sister company Contactless Check Solutions (CCS) is a simple digital app and dashboard that records the entire life cycle of a fire door to ensure you comply with new and existing Fire Door Regulations.

Primary Test Evidence
West Port’s policy is to only provide fire doorsets with Primary Test Evidence where available. All fire doorsets are put through a rigorous testing and certification process that covers fire, smoke and security. This has created a large back catalogue of Primary Test Evidence allowing every fire doorset to be factory calibrated and certified.
Manufacture
We manufacture FD30, FD60 & Fire Screens using the latest CNC machining processes. These are painted in our state of the art automated paint plant. UKCA approved glass and ironmongery is installed producing a complete precision fire doorset ready to be delivered to any UK location. Every fire doorest is also fitted with a CCS Fire Door Management System data tag as standard, creating your first step to complete compliance.
Inspection
Article 17 of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 states the responsible person must ensure that general fire precautions (which includes fire doors) must be in an efficient working order and in good repair. To accomplish this a routine inspection regime is recommended. West Port supplies a CCS data tag in every door as standard, this is the starting point to your businesses journey to compliance. We recommend the CCS Fire Door Management System is used to conduct your fire door inspections.

Communal & Internal Fire Doorsets
West Port internal and communal fire doorsets have been rigorously tested in specific full scale tests to British and European standards at UKAS accredited test houses.
Internal and Communal fire doorsets have an important function to protect escape routes from the effects of fire so occupants can reach means of escape. They also enable the Fire & Rescue Service to carry out their operational duties within compartmented areas.
Fire Door Screens
Glazed internal screens are increasingly being specified as a more sophisticated alternative to conventional brick or concrete wall constructions. These often expansive amalgams of wood, glass and doors have become particularly fashionable in Schools, Offices and other Public and Commercial buildings for applications such as corridors, lobby’s and partition walls.
Testing & Primary
Test Evidence
At West Port we treat fire safety with the utmost seriousness, and our fire-rated products are among the most robust and reliable in the industry. The more primary test evidence a manufacturer can call upon, the wider the scope of results, and the greater the suitability of any individual solution.
Having a large pool of test data to draw upon allows us to work with specifiers to offer custom fire door designs and configurations. West Port has a policy to only provide fire doors where primary test evidence is available.
Fire Door Management
Every West Port fire doorset comes with a CCS Fire Door Management System RFID Pin fitted as standard.
Developed in 2018, CCS is the original fire door tagging system. With over 1.5million checks carried out on the system already, CCS is proving to be the trusted solution that businesses are turning to across the UK.
A simple but thorough method to record the entire history of a fire door to ensure you comply with new and existing Fire Door Regulations.
Not Just Compliant
One of our valued customers came to us last year to talk about a very large ongoing fire door replacement program. They had concerns relating to the integrity of their internal walls and together we decided to test the entire system under strict test conditions. The FD30’s and wall exceeded the 30 minute requirements by 60%, lasting over 50 minutes on each occasion.
Because sometimes being compliant just isn’t enough…
