Prime fire door manufacturers
A prime fire door manufacturer is either:
- a company which manufactures a fire door from scratch, which may include the use of separately supplied fire door core material
- a company which purchases a door blank that is not currently certificated by Warrington Certification Ltd and turns it into a saleable fire door. This can include adding lippings, mouldings, veneers and fitting vision panels.
Either process may include manufacturing fire door frames to suit the doors you manufacture and making up doorsets or doorkits.

Licensed converters
A licensed converter is a joinery company which takes a certificated fire door and makes adjustments to it according to the scope of the manufacturer's fire test data sheet. Their principal role is to fit vision panels, although they are also authorised to manufacture frames, fit other requirements such as letter plates and spy holes, and make up doorsets, while maintaining the certification of the fire door.
