Hardware Components
Note: All hardware must be compatible with the security classification. Substituting hardware without verification may void the security rating.
- Hinges: Heavy-duty 304 Stainless Steel Ball Bearing Hinges. Minimum 3 per door. Security-rated for the specified RC class.
- Door Closer: Automatic door closer rated for the door weight and security class. Adjustable closing speed and latch action. Must interface with access control system where applicable.
- Locking — Mechanical: Multi-point locking systems for higher RC classes. Single-point mortice lock for RC3. All locks tested as part of the security classification.
- Locking — Electric: Electric strike (fail-safe or fail-secure per application), magnetic lock, or electric multi-point lock. Selection depends on egress requirements.
- Access Control Preparation: Card reader mounting, door position monitoring (reed switch), request-to-exit sensor, cable routing through frame.
- Handles/Lever Sets: Security-rated lever handles.
- Vision Panel Glazing: Safety glass per NZS 4223.3:2016. Security glazing rated to match the door's RC class. Manifestation markings 800-1200mm from floor.
- Intumescent & Smoke Seals: Required for fire-rated configurations.
- Weatherseals: Required for external applications.
Critical Warning: Security resistance rating applies to the complete doorset assembly as tested. Substituting any component (leaf, frame, locking, hinges, glazing) without re-assessment may void the tested security classification.
Installation Requirements
Experienced Installation Required
Security doors must be installed by a competent installer experienced with security door systems, in accordance with manufacturer specifications. Installation quality directly affects security performance. We can provide installation with our experienced installation team.
Installation Standards
- Heavy-duty frame anchoring to surrounding structure using fixings appropriate to the wall construction (concrete, steel, timber framing). Fixing type, size, and spacing per manufacturer's framing guide for the specified security class.
- Structural opening prepared to manufacturer's framing guide dimensions with adequate structural support (lintel, header, jamb structure).
- Frame checked and shimmed for plumb, level, and square on all sides before final fixing.
- Maintain specified operational clearances between leaf and frame for correct locking engagement.
- All locking mechanisms tested for correct engagement at all locking points.
- Perimeter sealing: weathertightness (external doors), fire/smoke sealing (fire-rated doors).
Access Control Wiring
- Cable conduit and wiring installed per access control system requirements.
- End-to-end functional testing of all access control components.
- Where on an escape route: wire locking system to building fire alarm panel (NZS 4512:2021). Test fail-safe release on fire alarm activation. Verify re-lock on alarm reset.
Quality Assurance
- Full operational test of all locking points
- Door closer function test
- Access control operation test
- Fire alarm interface test (where applicable)
- Signage placement verification
- Installation certificate, as-built drawings, and handover documentation to building owner and consent authority
- For fire-rated configurations: installation must comply with NZS 4520:2010. Fire door installation declaration to be completed.
Maintenance Requirements
In accordance with NZ Building Code and manufacturer specifications. Security doors with fire rating and/or access control are likely specified systems requiring a building compliance schedule and annual IQP inspections.
Maintenance Schedule
| Inspection Item | Frequency | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Visual inspection — door operation, closing, latching | Monthly | Door must close and latch correctly. Check access control function |
| All hardware — hinges, closers, locking mechanisms, seals | 6-Monthly | Professional inspection. Lubricate moving parts per manufacturer schedule |
| Intumescent and smoke seals (fire-rated) | 6-Monthly | Check for damage or deterioration |
| Access control system | 12-Monthly | Full functional test including battery backup |
| Fire alarm interface | 12-Monthly | End-to-end functional test. Verify fail-safe release |
| Frame fixings and frame-to-wall interface | 12-Monthly | Check for movement or cracking |
| IQP inspection (fire-rated) | 12-Monthly | Per NZS 4520:2010 and building compliance schedule |
Maintenance Records
All inspections and maintenance must be recorded. IQP inspection records must be retained per Building Act requirements.
Common Issues to Watch For
- Access control not releasing on fire alarm (test immediately — life safety issue)
- Worn or broken door closers
- Locking points not engaging correctly
- Damaged intumescent or smoke seals (fire-rated doors)
- Weatherseal wear (external doors)
- Loose hinge screws or frame fixings
- Floor clearance issues (dragging or binding)
- Damaged or cracked vision panel glazing

Warnings & Limitations
Critical Information — Read and understand all warnings before specifying, installing, or maintaining this product.
Installation Warnings
- Experienced Installation Required: Security doors must only be installed by competent personnel experienced with security door systems.
- Frame Fixings Critical: Frame and fixing design must match the security classification. Higher RC classes require heavier frames and more robust anchoring.
- Do Not Modify: Any modification to the door, frame, locking, or hardware may void the security rating and warranty.
- Access Control Integration: Door must be manufactured with correct preparation for the intended locking device. Retrofit of different lock types may compromise the security rating.
Use Limitations
- Complete Assembly Rating: Security classification applies to the complete doorset assembly as tested. Substituting any component voids the tested rating and intended door use.
- Maximum Leaf Dimensions: Each configuration has maximum tested dimensions. Exceeding these voids the security classification.
- Vision Panel Limits: Larger vision panels may reduce forced entry resistance at higher RC classes.
- Fail-Safe vs Fail-Secure: Doors on escape routes must use fail-safe locking (releases on power loss and fire alarm). Fail-secure (locks on power loss) is only appropriate where egress is not through the door.
- Accessibility: Security hardware operating force may conflict with accessibility requirements (NZS 4121:2001). Automatic operators may be required.
- Corrosive Environments: Standard finishes may not suit coastal, industrial, or high-humidity environments. Upgraded coatings may be required.
- High-Traffic Duty Cycle: For applications over 200 cycles/day, specify heavy-duty hardware rated for the expected duty cycle.
Maintenance Warnings
- Fire Alarm Interface: Must be tested at least annually. Failure to release on fire alarm is a life safety issue.
- IQP Inspections Required: Fire-rated and access-controlled doors require annual IQP inspections per the Building Act.
Product Bans & Use Restrictions
- No Current Product Bans: This product line is not subject to any current product bans or recalls in New Zealand.
- Not a Fire Separation Unless Fire-Rated: A security door without fire testing does not provide fire resistance.
- External Use: Not all configurations are suitable for external exposure. Specify appropriate weatherseals, drainage, and thermal breaks for external positions.
Section 26 Statement
As at 2026-03-08, the RCD Safety & Security Door Systems product line is not subject to any warning or ban under Section 26 of the Building Act 2004.
Any future warnings or bans affecting this product will be immediately reflected on this disclosure page and noted on the BPIR Hub.
Regulatory Compliance
- Building Consent: Installation typically requires building consent. Check with your local Building Consent Authority.
- Compliance Schedule: Fire-rated and access-controlled security doors are likely specified systems requiring a building compliance schedule and annual IQP inspections.
- Code Compliance Certificate: Security door installation must be inspected and certified for Code Compliance Certificate issuance.
- Building Warrant of Fitness: Fire-rated and access-controlled doors in specified systems require ongoing BWoF compliance.
