METAL DOORSET Group

The Metal Doorset Forum (MDF)is the only representative body for the metal doorset industry.  
 
The Forum includes the leading manufacturers and installers of metal doorsets in the UK with the aim of furthering the use of metal doorsets via the promotion of good practice and better understanding throughout the industry and its markets.  
 
The work of the MDF and its members includes:  
 
- Consultation with legislators on major issues affecting the commercial hinged door market  
- Representation on committees drafting and setting new British and European product and testing standards  
- Liasing closely with LPCB and CERTIFIRE on product certification issues, the wider recognition of which the Metal Doorset Forum actively supports  
- Co-ordination with the work of other related trade organisations  
- Publication of:  
Code of Practice for Fire Resisting Metal Doorsets  
A Guide to Specifying Metal Doorsets  
- Highlighting and campaigning against poor products and bad practices which bring metal doorsets into disrepute  
 
All members of the MDF are BS EN ISO 9000 registered and a growing number are able to provide metal doorsets approved under fire and security product certification.  
 
Most members undertake product installation and several have the experience and resources to execute major sub-contract packages involving significant quantities of metal doorsets. Metal doorsets manufactured by Forum members are also supplied through other trade installers.
