When replacing your HDB main door, one important factor to consider is whether your unit requires a fire-rated door. While many homeowners focus on design and price, understanding the regulations and practical differences between fire-rated and non fire-rated doors is essential—especially for safety and HDB compliance.
Let’s break it down.
📜 HDB Main Door Fire Safety Regulation
Under HDB rules, you are required to install a 30-minute fire-rated door if:
Your main door opens to a stairwell, lift lobby, or fire escape route
Your unit is part of a fire compartment (common in corridor-facing flats)
If your home doesn’t fall into this category, a non fire-rated door is allowed.
⏳ Lead Time: Fire-Rated vs Non Fire-Rated Main Door
Door Type | Estimated Lead Time |
Non Fire-Rated | 7–10 working days |
Fire-Rated | 14–21 working days |
Why longer for fire-rated?It includes HDB submission, permit processing, and fabrication with certified fire-resistant materials.
