Fire-Rated Pocket Doors: Safety Meets Style with Rocket Door Frames
FD30 Fire Rated Pocket Door Kit
Over the last five years, Rocket Door Frames’ space-saving pocket door kits have become a go-to choice across the UK. Thanks to their 100% steel frame and easy installation, they’ve won over architects, builders, and even keen DIYers. Meanwhile, our ultra-flush concealed door kits—designed without architraves—are a favorite among interior designers looking to create sleek, modern spaces.
But as design trends evolve, fire safety is becoming an even bigger priority for homeowners, developers, and businesses alike. We get asked about fire resistance all the time, and we take it seriously. That’s why we put our pocket door systems through rigorous independent fire safety testing—so you can trust their performance in real-world conditions.
Fire Testing: Proven Protection for Peace of Mind
Our pocket door and ultra-flush concealed door systems were independently tested at Warringtonfire, a UKAS-accredited laboratory. The result? A full FD30 rating, meaning they provide at least 30 minutes of fire resistance—the industry standard for safety.
But we didn’t stop there. Our pocket door system was tested using a flax-board core door, one of the worst fire rated door cores available. The logic? If the most basic fire door core passed, customers could be completely confident in the system's reliability.
Exceeding Expectations
During the test, our doors actually achieved 48 minutes of protection—that’s 60% more than the FD30 requirement.
When you choose Rocket’s fire-rated pocket door system, you’re not just meeting the minimum standard—you’re getting superior protection and lasting peace of mind.
The Jamb Lining: Strength & Style Without Compromise
A jamb lining is a timber frame installed around the pocket opening, covering the top of the door and its running mechanism for a clean, polished look.
Rocket’s fire door jamb is made from high-density, slow-burning European oak, giving it both strength and style. Unlike some systems, our fire-rated jamb doesn’t require integrated architraves. That means you’re free to use the same architrave design throughout your project—without being restricted by fire door specifications.
