10 Best Fire-Rated Doors in Singapore

I never thought I’d be researching fire-rated doors, but after reading about yet another HDB fire (oh yes, our SCDF firefighters have been so busy lately)—one in Bukit Purmei, then Marsiling, hot on the heels of two recent Toa Payoh fires in July 2025 (one of which claimed two lives), right after the Toa Payoh one in May reportedly caused by a PMD (personal mobility device) battery, not to mention the Holland Close one in June—I started wondering just how protected my home really is.

The reports were terrifying and really hit too close to home (pun uncomfortably intended). In all these fire news reports, smoke had spread rapidly through the common areas and affected unfortunate neighbouring units, and it got me thinking: What happens if that were on my floor?

So I did what any slightly panicked (but practical) homeowner would do—I scrambled into full research mode, Googled “fire-rated door Singapore price”, lurked in HardwareZone forums, and even stalked a few fire-rated door supplier pages on Instagram. And honestly? I learnt a lot more than I expected.

What’s a fire-rated door?

And do you actually need one? First, the basics: what on earth is a fire-rated door?

To be very honest, I had to Google “fire-rated door meaning” first—yes, yes, I had no idea what a fire-rated door was. In case you don’t either, a fire-rated door isn’t “fire-proof” per se, but it’s designed to resist fire and smoke for a certain amount of time (usually 30 or 60 minutes), slowing the spread so that people can evacuate and emergency responders can act—buying time, so to speak.

In Singapore, HDB flat main doors facing the common corridor or a fire escape route, within 3 metres of a lift or staircase landing must be fire-rated by law—with a minimum 30-minute fire resistance rating. If you’re changing that door, you’ll need to apply for a renovation permit and use an SCDF-approved door supplier. But not all homes are required to have them—so unless your door opens into a fire escape route, you’re not legally required to replace it with one. That said, you can still install a fire-rated door for your own peace of mind and security—at your own expense, that is.

For context, this Fire Code requirement for fire-rated doors in certain HDB flats became mandatory in 1996. Most new condos and all HDB flats built since then already come with compliant main doors (where required), but some older developments may not.

Also—something else I learnt—you can’t just buy any fancy new digital lock and attach it to a fire-rated door. The whole assembly (door, lock, hinges) has to be tested together and certified. That’s where the fire-rated door sticker Singapore residents often ask about comes in: it’s an official SCDF/CoC (Certificate of Conformity) label stuck near the hinges showing the door’s fire resistance rating and unique serial number.

Here’s a shortlist of the 10 best fire-rated doors I found—including the ones I’d genuinely consider installing in my own home. All of them are from trusted Singapore fire-rated door suppliers, most of whom offer installation and HDB permit handling too.

Laminate Door, HDB Laminate Fire-Rated Main Door, $1,188–1,588

Best laminate fire-rated door in Singapore for stylish compliance at a fair price

This laminate fire-rated door from Laminate Door (I mean, with a name like that, you know their laminate doors have got to be specialised) makes the shortlist because I think it strikes a great balance between design and safety compliance. This one doesn’t just tick the regulatory boxes—it also looks good, and comes with enough “skins” to match practically any home aesthetic. You get a SCDF-certified 30-to-60-minute fire rating, but with modern laminate finishes that don’t scream “government regulation.”

This proudly-made-in-Singapore solid wood door is pretty solid with a 40–45mm thickness, and looks finished in a way that doesn’t feel plasticky or cheap. I especially like that there are over 1,000 (!) designs to choose from: woodgrain patterns, muted colours, and even two-tone configurations with plenty of texture if you want your door to stand out a little more. And yes, there’s even some marble shade laminates!

What makes this even more appealing is that they include free delivery, installation and HDB permit handling—so you’re not stuck trying to figure it out yourself. At $1,188 for a 3×7 ft single-leaf and $1,588 for a 4×7 ft double-leaf, I think it’s a fair price for peace of mind and good aesthetics. You can even bundle the door with a fire-rated digital lock or get an all-in-one package which includes a gate, and digital locks for both the door and gate.

The Laminate Door HDB Laminate Fire-Rated Main Door is priced at $1,188–1,588 from Laminate Door.

Ho Ho Door, Varnish Fire-Rated Main Door, from S$1,180

Best wood varnish fire-rated door in Singapore for full HDB compliance with one-stop service

If you prefer a more traditional, rustic look, these varnish fire-rated doors from Ho Ho offer the classic appeal of natural wood in five rich wood tones—from dark mahogany to a light teak. These can also be revarnished later on to restore or change their appearance. Note: these may not match more modern minimalist interiors, but would serve classic country-home/farmhouse aesthetics well.

I shortlisted this fire-rated door from Ho Ho Door because they seem to take care of everything. The package starts from $1,180, and it includes not just the door but also HDB permit applications, professional installation, an SCDF-recommended smoke detector and 1-year warranty. I like that they thoughtfully included the smoke detector as an added perk—for extra peace of mind which is priceless.

I also like that they recommend you be there during the varnishing, so that you can communicate with the painter about your desired finish—this ensures your door ends up with a unique tone that will closely match your home.

In forums, users also seem pretty happy with Ho Ho’s after-sales support and the professionalism of their installers. Compared to similar offerings from other suppliers, I think Ho Ho’s pricing is reasonable—especially given the level of service you’re getting. If you want a compliant upgrade with as little friction as possible, this is a great pick.

HDDoor, Stainless Steel Fire-Rated Laminate Main Door [SSFR01—SSFR06], $1,299–1,699

Best stainless steel fire-rated door in Singapore for sleek, modern aesthetics

I included HDDoor’s Stainless Steel Fire-Rated Laminate Main Door in my top-10 picks because it brings something slightly uncommon to Singapore’s fire-rated door scene: stainless steel accents over the usual laminate for a subtly metallic, modern look.

The SSFR01 to SSFR06 line features slender stainless steel inlays set into a high-quality laminate surface. Although I have to say I was quite disappointed when the sales assistant broke the news that this is not a stainless steel door (which I’d instantly assumed judging by its name)—just some tasteful metallic detailing to add a modern edge without overpowering your doorway. Well, it’s something you don’t see every day anyway (from fire-rated door suppliers that I’ve seen).

Compared to HDDoor’s two-tone or single-color laminate models, this one feels more refined and visually interesting — without stepping into industrial territory. Pricing runs from $1,299 for the single-leaf 3×7 ft version up to $1,699 for the larger double-leaf 4×7 ft layout. Of course, these doors still carry the official SCDF fire-rated sticker near the hinge, which reassures me they aren’t just decorative pieces.

HDDoor also has a 4.9 Google rating with over 3,000 positive reviews—testament to the company’s professionalism given some of the shoddy ratings other door companies have.

The HDDoor Stainless Steel Fire-Rated Laminate Main Door [SSFR01—SSFR06] is priced at $1,299–1,699 from HDDoor.

Door Lab, Fire-Rated Laminate Main Door, from $848 (U.P. $988)

Best anti-bacterial laminate fire-rated doors in Singapore at entry-level prices

Aside from attractive pricing, Door Lab makes the shortlist because I genuinely like their tasteful offering of eye-catching laminate tones. Their catalogue includes 42 mm doors in finishes like ash cement, chevron, or wood pallet—but my personal favourite is their textile line of doors that look like raw woven fabric (especially the linen one). Never thought I’d want my door dressed in linen, but I think that’s just because no one told me it was possible!

For anyone wanting safety without a bland brown slab, this feels refreshing. These prices are also somewhat refreshing. Their HDB-sized (3×7 ft) fire-rated doors start from just $848 (for an indeterminate promotion period) and goes up to around $1,108 for the most expensive 4×7 ft version—tough to beat if you’re renovating on a budget. Despite the low price, these include laminate protection, a fire-rated sticker, installation, mortise lock, door closer, stainless steel hinges, disposal of old door—all part of the deal. (Note though that the door frame is not included in this price)

Another things that stood out to me: these 30-minute fire-rated doors are not only heat-resistant, scratch-resistant, and water-resistant, they’re supposedly anti-bacterial too! This seals the deal for me (and all the other OCD mummies out there).

The Door Lab Fire-Rated Laminate Main Door is priced from $848 (U.P. $988) a Door Lab.

The Door, Fire-Rated Laminate Main Door, from $899

Best value laminate fire-rated doors in Singapore with stylish designs

Very similar to Door Lab in terms of aesthetics, The Door also caught my attention because of its unbeatable pricing—for a full fire-rated setup at just $899 (3×7 ft), or $1,099 (4×7 ft), which includes the installation, a mortise lock, door closer, peep hole viewer and door disposal. This level of all-in pricing is rare for certified fire-rated doors in this category.

When I checked their website, I found they offer dozens of laminate textures (like dark concrete, white oak, or marbles) that suit most modern interiors—yet still come as SCDF-compliant assemblies. I like the Series 19 doors for a dash of glitz and glamour. Of course, there are also more understated options if these are too flashy for your liking.

Compared to pricier suppliers, this one still gives you the full hardware set, SCDF sticker, and basic aesthetic options without bloated markups. For a straightforward, reliable option that meets regulation while still looking good, this seems like a great starter choice.

The Door’s Fire-Rated Laminate Main Door is priced from $899 at The Door.

Renovaid, Half Hour Fire Rated Nyatoh Plywood Main Door, $870–$1,250

Best for value-conscious homeowners in Singapore seeking classic wood styling

I’ve added Renovaid’s ½-hour fire-rated veneer plywood door to the list because it delivers certified safety at a compelling entry price of just $870 for your standard HDB 3 x 7 ft door size (single leaf). That price covers delivery, installation, varnishing, hardware, and disposal of your old door—zero hidden extras. (Note: door frame and painting of existing door frame not included though)

What appeals most is the real Nyatoh plywood solid core, a classic wood look that’s often seen in higher-end interiors yet seldom offered at this price with fire certification. There are five varnish tones to choose from—Natural, Dark Natural Walnut, Dark Walnut, Black—which should save you time picking a finish that fits your decor.

Overall, this strikes me as a practical and budget-savvy choice for anyone wanting style and fire safety in one neat package. You can also find the larger double-leaf 4 x 7 ft Renovaid ½ Hour Fire Rated Nyatoh Plywood Main Door promotion here for $1,250.

The Renovaid ½ Hour Fire Rated Nyatoh Plywood Main Door is priced at $870–$1,250 from Renovaid.

Eazea, Fire-Rated Laminate Main Door, $800–$1,300

Best budget fire-rated laminate main door in Singapore for certified simplicity with 5-star service

Better known for their smart digital locks, Eazea’s fire-rated laminate door made my shortlist because it blends simplicity, quality, and design flexibility under one certified roof. I was also most impressed with Eazea’s perfect 5-star Google rating by over 2,000 reviewers—that means roughly 2,000 completely satisfied customers with great experiences and very few complaints. Most reviewers complimented the team for their “exceptional professionalism”, and raved about their positive experiences.

Eazea’s catalogue offers a collection of 45 mm-thick fire-rated laminate main doors that come with proper fire-rating and a wide palette of laminate textures. I like their clean, contemporary laminate finishes—everything from sleek neutrals to textured tones. The sturdy solid-core door also comes with a peephole viewer, silver mortise lockset, door closer, magnetic door stopper, and the crucial fire certificate.

If you’re aiming to stay modern and meet fire regulations without complicating things, this is a smart, flexible option. For me, the best part is knowing it will be a smooth seamless professional installation—pleasant customer service experiences are so, so underrated. Their current $800 promotion is also unbeatable (Note: its usual price is $900, still very reasonable).

The Eazea, Fire Rated Laminate Main Door is priced at $800–$1,300 from Eazea.

Imperial Door, HDB Fire-Rated Main Door, from $1,000

Best factory-direct fire-rated main door in Singapore

Imperial Door earns a spot because they’re a rare Singaporean door company claiming to offer factory-direct pricing, and they deliver their doors straight from their wooden door factory in Woodlands (located just next to the showroom).

Their fire-rated main doors start from $1,000 for 3×7 ft, and from $1,100 for 4×7 ft—and this includes delivery, installation, and a free stuck-in mortise lock and closer, all backed by STS fire certification. Their pricing seems transparent enough—no hidden add-ons for straightforward workmanship. There’s also a fairly varied range of laminates to choose from.

Do note, however, that while most customers were happy with their product quality and service, a few reported issues with the installation process and poor customer service responses when dealing with those issues.

The Imperial Door HDB Fire-Rated Main Door is priced from $1,000 at Imperial Door.

GoDigitalLock, HDB Fire Rated Laminate Main Door, from $1,188 (U.P. $1,288)

Best HDB fire-rated main door in Singapore with extended warranty

I included GoDigitalLock’s HDB Fire Rated Laminate Main Door because I was impressed by their Google rating. Another perfect 5.0 score with over 1,300 reviewers—meaning more than 1,000 satisfied customers and very few bad experiences. That’s pretty good, in my opinion.

Also manufacturing their own doors, GoDigitalLock’s laminate options are contemporary, and come with 30-minute or 60-minute fire-rated options. Each door is built with a solid core for strength, approved by HDB and endorsed with SETSCO fire-rated certification.

I also like that GoDigitalLock is a one-stop shop—you can get a matching gate or a digital lock from the same store if you want to update your entire entryway at once (and even get your toilet doors and smart home fixtures from here). Customer reviews highlight quick installation times and helpful showroom staff—who can really help make the decision-making process less stressful when you’re unsure and need guidance on your options.

Prices vary depending on the door size and design, but a standard HDB-sized fire-rated door typically runs about $1,188–$1,588 (U.P. $1,288–$1,688). The warranty period is also 18 months instead of the usual 12 months.

Goodhill, Soundproof and Fire-Rated Wooden Door, Price upon enquiry

Best soundproof fire-rated main door in Singapore

I think Goodhill’s door stands out because it brings together two critical features often overlooked in our HDB flats: fire resistance and sound insulation. Goodhill emphasizes both—they offer wooden and metal fire-rated doors (from 30 minutes up to 2 hours for wood, and up to 4 hours for metal) plus dedicated acoustic-door models that use drop seals and bat-wing designs to seal gaps and significantly reduce noise, insects, and of course—smoke.

What impressed me was their thoughtful design: If you’re near a common corridor or a noisy staircase, this door not only slows fire but also cushions everyday sounds—especially handy in our multi-generational living spaces. Online reviews mentioned noticeable noise reduction—though one reviewer wasn’t pleased the sound reading fell from over 70 dB to over 40 dB. (Honestly that seems like a remarkable quietening to me.)

Compared to other suppliers offering only fire-rated doors, Goodhill gives you both form and function—backed by their long-standing reputation since the 1980s. Their pricing varies by materials and specs, so you’ll have to enquire to get a quote—but remember, you’re getting a dual-purpose protective door, not just a fire shield. (But, if you really need an estimate, one reviewer mentioned paying $1,155 for the soundproof door mid-2025)

Oh, and their listed clientele include MOE, MINDEF, HDB, NTUC Club, Singapore Sports Hub, Marina Bay Sands and more big corporates.

The Goodhill Soundproof and Fire-Rated Wooden Door is price-furnished upon enquiry from Goodhill.

What to Look For When Buying a Fire-Rated Door?

So what makes a good fire-rated door? From my own (slightly obsessive) browsing and talking to suppliers, here’s what I learnt:

• Fire rating duration: Most HDBs go for 30-minute doors (the minimum required rating), while some condos or private homes may choose 60-minute ones—especially if the door leads to a kitchen or helper’s room.
• Fire-rated door sticker: As mentioned, it’s not just a sticker—this is official proof that the door has passed SCDF tests and is certified with a CoC. Without it, your door isn’t legal even if it is actually fire-resistant.
• Material: Look for solid fire-rated doors made from engineered timber, steel-core laminate, or Nyatoh plywood. Some even have fire-rated glass panels, which some homeowners install as kitchen doors—but these cost more.
• Size: Most HDB doors are 3×7 ft (single leaf), while wider entryways use 4×7 ft (double leaf, such as where you have one small stationary panel and a larger opening panel) doors. Always check your fire-rated door size before buying.
• Finishing and style: Gone are the days when fire-rated doors looked like ugly brown slabs. I saw options in laminate, veneer, and even woodgrain, with digital locks that looked great while being HDB-compliant.
• Accessories compatibility: If you’re installing a smart lock or digital viewer on your fire-rated door, make sure it’s compatible and also fire-rated. Using a non-fire-rated lock or viewer can compromise the door’s fire resistance and potentially invalidate its fire rating. Brands like Igloohome, Samsung, or Philips offer fire-rated digital locks.
• HDB renovation permit and installation: Under HDB rules, you need to engage a ‘HDB Licensed Contractor’ to install your fire-rated door. Reputable fire-rated door suppliers who are also HDB licensed contractors like Laminatedoor, HDDoor, and HoHo Doors can help with the entire HDB renovation permit application process while ensuring that your new fire-rated door, lock and installation are compliant with HDB and SCDF regulations. Trust me, it’s worth paying a little more just to have all the paperwork settled.
• Fire-rated door price: I found prices ranging from $800 upward, depending on material, customisation, and size. For HDBs, a standard laminate fire-rated main door hovers around $1,200 to S$1,400 with digital lock bundles.
