Firedoor between garage and house?

Yorkie1234

My house has a garage built onto the side of the house which has a door at the back which opens into the downstairs toilet and utility room. There's also a door from there into the kitchen.

Both the door from the garage and the one into the kitchen are wood. Up to now I haven't put the car in the garage but may soon be. Just wondered if the door from the garage should be a fire door. Also even if it doesn't need to be I was thinking about replacing it anyway to something a bit more secure as the garage only has an up and over door so not sure about how secure that would be.

Thanks

Your wooden doors most likely are 30 minute fire doors

If there is no lock on the door why not fit a couple of bolts on the inside top and bottom.
