What is a heritage fire door retrofit?

A heritage fire door retrofit upgrades old or historically significant doors to meet current fire safety standards without altering their original design. These modifications ensure life safety while preserving architectural value.

Can heritage doors meet modern fire safety codes?

Yes. Many heritage doors can be upgraded using non-invasive methods such as hidden closers, slimline seals, and intumescent strips. Fire Facilities Plus works with Heritage Victoria to approve retrofit solutions that maintain visual authenticity.

Do I need council approval for retrofitting heritage fire doors?

In most cases, you will need approval from your local council or Heritage Victoria. Fire Facilities Plus provides documentation and liaises with authorities to ensure your project receives necessary approvals quickly.
