2mm Universal Tubular Latch Intumescent to suit 4″ and 5″ Tubular Latches – Graphite

Product Description – 2mm Tubular Latch Fire Pad

📌 Overview

The 2mm Tubular Latch Fire Pad is a high-performance, fire-protective pad designed for 4″ and 5″ tubular latches. With its slightly thicker 2 mm profile, it provides enhanced fire resistance, filling gaps around the latch cavity to prevent smoke, heat, and flames from spreading. Ideal for new installations or retrofitting existing doors, the 2mm Tubular Latch Fire Pad ensures that doors remain compliant with fire safety standards.

✅ Key Features

• Thickness: 2 mm — offers improved expansion and protection compared to 1 mm pads.
• Compatibility: Fits standard 4″ (64 mm) and 5″ (76 mm) tubular latches.
• Material: Graphite-based intumescent sheet that expands when exposed to heat.
• Fire Rating Support: Suitable for FD30 and FD60 doors when installed correctly.
• Installation: Simple and fast fitting, no adhesives or door modifications required.
• Durable & Maintenance-Free: Long-lasting fire protection without ongoing upkeep.
• Discreet Fit: Hidden behind latches, signs, logos, or stickers — no impact on door aesthetics.

🔍 Why the 2mm Tubular Latch Fire Pad Matters

The 2mm Tubular Latch Fire Pad is designed to strengthen door fire safety by:

• Sealing the latch cavity and surrounding gaps during a fire.
• Expanding rapidly to block flames, smoke, and hot gases.
• Maintaining the integrity of FD30 or FD60 rated doors.
• Providing a reliable solution for doors with logos, signs, or stickers where discreet protection is essential.
• Serving both commercial and residential applications with retrofit-friendly installation.

🛠 Installation Guide

1. Remove the tubular latch from the door to access the cavity.
2. Clean the mortice to ensure the 2mm Tubular Latch Fire Pad adheres correctly.
3. Place the pad behind the latch body, covering all exposed gaps.
4. Refit the tubular latch and check operation.
5. Done! The 2mm Tubular Latch Fire Pad remains hidden yet fully functional in case of fire.

Tip: The 2 mm thickness provides extra coverage for older or slightly worn doors, giving more reliable protection than a thinner pad.
