Doors need to fulfil a variety of functions. Typically, these include providing security, offering sound reduction and a thermal barrier, providing resistance to fire and smoke, or a combination of all of these.


What’s the single feature that can prevent a doorset or door assembly from fulfilling ALL of these functions? Durability.


Durability is crucial.

Durability: Tried and Tested

One of the world’s leading suppliers of quality door components, every Halspan door blank, core and complete doorset is subjected to rigorous, independent mechanical and durability tests to ensure they remain fit for purpose throughout their service life.

To test Halspan’s durability, over one million cycles were completed on a 54mm thick Halspan door fitted into a softwood frame using standard hardware.


After 10 months’ continuous opening and closing, the door assembly showed no sign of fatigue. Tested to BS EN 1191 (with classification according to BS EN 12400).


In independent tests, Halspan’s entire range achieved SEVERE DUTY  – the highest grading possible in the British Standard of Mechanical Tests for ‘hinged or pivoted doors’.
