Tips to using Rapid’s Aluminium Door

Installing and using a BAL 12.5 rated Aluminium Door requires a few specific steps to ensure both long-term performance and full compliance with Australian bushfire safety standards. Whether you’re upgrading an existing entryway or fitting a new door for a build in a bushfire-prone area, Rapid’s Aluminium Doors are tested to AS 1530.8.1 and designed for reliable, code-compliant performance. But before you start your door project, there are important factors to consider. From confirming the correct door frame material to checking your area’s specific BAL requirements under AS 3959, this section will walk you through everything you need to know to install your Aluminium Door correctly:

Confirm Your Site’s BAL Rating First: Before installation, consult AS 3959 or a qualified bushfire consultant to confirm your specific site’s BAL requirement. BAL 12.5 only applies where radiant heat risk is assessed as low

Use a Compliant Door Frame: Frames must be metal, bushfire-resistant timber, timber with a density greater than 650 kg/m³, metal-reinforced PVC, or another approved BAL-rated frame to maintain compliance

Install According to Tested Specifications: Follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions closely, including correct fixings, frame type, and mounting method, to ensure the door performs as tested

Avoid Unauthorised Modifications: Don’t alter the door leaf, frame, or hardware beyond the permissible variations outlined in the test report — unauthorised changes may void compliance

Inspect Seals and Hardware Regularly: Check intumescent seals, hinges, and locking hardware periodically to ensure they remain intact and functional over time

Consult a Professional for Complex Sites: If your property sits in a higher-risk bushfire zone or has unique site conditions, seek advice from a qualified building professional to confirm the right BAL-rated solution
