Door leaf and frame
The leaf, frame profile, material, dimensions, reinforcement and fixing method must match the approved tested configuration.

Passive Fire Doors in Mumbai and Across India
What is a passive fire door?
A passive fire door is a tested doorset installed in a fire-resisting wall to help restrict fire and, where specified, smoke between compartments. It supports protected escape routes, firefighting access and property protection by closing the opening when the door is not in use.
Reliance Fire Protection Systems supports surveys, specification coordination, supply, installation, inspection and maintenance of fire-rated doors for commercial, residential, industrial and infrastructure projects from Mumbai to locations across India.
The correct solution is selected from the approved fire strategy, wall construction, door location, required performance, opening size, traffic, accessibility, hardware, environmental conditions and test evidence. A rating should never be selected from a generic duration alone.
What a Fire-Rated Doorset Includes
Seals and smoke control
Compatible intumescent and smoke seals are selected and positioned as required by the doorset evidence and project fire strategy.
Glazing and vision panels
Where provided, glass, beads, liners, aperture size and fixing details form part of the evaluated fire-resisting assembly.
Closers, latches and hinges
Approved hardware must allow the door to close reliably, engage correctly and remain compatible with the tested doorset.
Wall interface and fire stopping
Frame anchors, perimeter gaps and fire-stopping materials must suit the supporting wall and approved installation detail.
Inspection and maintenance
Routine checks cover damage, gaps, alignment, seals, glazing, hardware, signage and unobstructed self-closing operation.
The Fire Rating Belongs to the Complete Assembly
A fire-door leaf by itself does not establish doorset performance. The leaf, frame, glazing, seals, hinges, closer, latch, hardware, anchors, surrounding wall and installation method must be supported by compatible test or assessment evidence. Unapproved drilling, trimming, hardware changes or mixed components can compromise performance.
Applications and Project Process
Typical locations
- Protected staircases, corridors and final-exit routes
- Electrical, transformer, UPS and generator rooms
- Server rooms, data centres and control rooms
- Lift lobbies, shafts and compartment walls
- Factories, warehouses, hospitals, hotels and malls
- Basements, service areas and plant rooms
Delivery sequence
- Review drawings, door schedule, wall types and site conditions.
- Confirm required fire/smoke performance and compatible evidence.
- Coordinate openings, handing, hardware, access and finishes.
- Install, label, inspect and document each doorset.
- Plan periodic inspections and corrective maintenance.
Standards and Compliance
Indian projects should be coordinated with the approved fire and life-safety design, applicable National Building Code provisions, local fire authority requirements and the selected product's test evidence. IS 3614:2021, Fire doors and doorsets — Specification, is the current first revision listed by the Bureau of Indian Standards. Project approval remains specific to the location, occupancy and authority having jurisdiction.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a passive fire door?
It is a tested doorset in a fire-resisting wall that helps limit fire and, where specified, smoke while supporting protected routes and compartmentation.
Is the door leaf alone fire rated?
No. Performance applies to the complete tested assembly, including the leaf, frame, seals, glazing, hardware, anchors, wall interface and installation.
What fire-door rating is required?
The project fire strategy, wall rating, occupancy, location, authority requirements and suitable test evidence determine the required rating and criteria.
Can a fire door be kept open?
It should not be wedged or obstructed. Where permitted, an approved hold-open system must release on the required fire signal so the door closes fully.
How should a fire doorset be installed?
Installation must follow approved drawings, manufacturer instructions and the tested configuration for the frame, fixings, gaps, fire stopping, glazing, seals and hardware.
How are passive fire doors maintained?
Routine inspection checks the leaf, frame, gaps, closer, latch, hinges, seals, glazing, signs, damage and unobstructed closing. Compatible repairs should be documented.
Do you support passive fire-door projects across India?
Yes. Reliance Fire Protection Systems provides project support from Mumbai for locations across Indian states and union territories.
