If it's a fire door to protect the house from a fire in the garage, then any good quality lock is fine, however I would have it open with a key from the garage, and a thumb-turn from inside the house, so it can be a means of escape in a house fire. Does this need to be airtight? @Russell griffiths has posted up some options from his findings when solving the same problem. Have a search on here, lots of discussions have been had! https://forum.buildhub.org.uk/search/?q=airtight fire door&quick=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
