How much does it cost to replace hotel room doors?
A supplied and fitted FD30S doorset usually costs £550–£950, before VAT. Panelled or veneered doors cost more. Larger refits bring the price per door down. Spreading the work over several months also spreads the cost.
Can we keep the hotel open during a door refit?
Yes. We work a few rooms at a time, agreed with your reservations team. Each room is fitted and back in use the same day, so the rest of the hotel stays open. Guests nearby may hear some noise during the day, but we finish before evening.
What rating should hotel bedroom doors have?
Guest room doors are normally FD30S. That means they hold back fire for 30 minutes and have smoke seals. Doors to stairs and some service areas may need more. Your fire strategy sets the rating for each door. If your fire strategy is old, ask your fire risk assessor to confirm the ratings before ordering.
Can new fire doors match our room design?
Yes. Fire doors come in many finishes, from paint to wood veneer, with panels or flush faces. We show you samples before ordering so the doors suit your rooms. Matching hardware, such as handles and room numbers, can be fitted at the same time.
Can key card locks go on fire doors?
Yes, if the lock is fire rated and fitted as the door maker allows. We can fit new locks or reuse your existing ones if they are suitable. Reusing locks saves money, but they must suit the new door’s test evidence.
Do fire doors help with noise between rooms?
Many fire doors are also tested for sound. A good fire door with proper seals can cut corridor noise, which helps guests sleep better. Ask us about acoustic ratings if noise is a common guest complaint.
How long does a hotel door refit take?
Each door takes most of a day. A floor of 24 rooms might take one to two weeks, fitting a few rooms at a time. We agree the pace with you before starting. Larger teams can speed this up if the hotel has a quiet period.
Do new doors need to be tested after fitting?
Each door is checked for closing, latching and gaps before we sign it off. Doors on hold-open devices are tested with the fire alarm. We can also book a full inspection once the refit is finished, to give you a fresh pass or fail record.
What paperwork do we get?
You get a room tracker, a photo of every door and label, and a fitting record. Together they form a pack for your fire safety file. Copies can go to head office, your fire risk assessor and your insurer.
Can you fit doors to connecting rooms?
Yes. Doors between connecting rooms are often fire doors too, and they need the right locks so each room stays secure. We fit and check them in the same way as the main room doors.
