Vision Panels
The Phoenix range of high quality door vision panels provide an excellent solution to both meeting visibility requirements and providing a smart, aesthetically pleasing appearance. Often referred to as portholes because of their naval origins, Phoenix vision panels are available in a wide range of options: Circular, Square and Rectangular. Decorative fascias are available on request to suite with our exciting range of Inset Handles.
Our vision panels are supplied as a complete modular unit ready for direct installation in to your pre-cut door blank. They can be fitted as either new build or retrofit in to existing door blanks, subject always to continuing to correctly meeting the fire rating of the individual doorset.
Manufactured in stainless steel, Phoenix Vision panels can be finished to enhance the appearance of any timber, composite, or metal door system.
Door types
Phoenix Vision Panels are suitable for all types of door construction: Timber, Composite, UPVC, and Metal.
Vision panel dimensions
There are three sets of dimensions: The vision area, The door cut out, and the overall vision panel fascia dimensions.
Door cut out dimensions
Fire doors are rated as to the maximum permissible area that can be cut out for vision panels whilst still complying with the fire rating of the door blank. This will also show the location of the area within which the vision panel cut out must be confined. It is important to make sure that the total cut out area falls within the maximum area that can be removed from the door. The external dimensions of the fascia are not important from the fire rating perspective, but it is important to ensure that there is a sufficient flat area of the door for the whole of the fascia.
Vision areas
To comply with Access for All guidelines, vision panels should cover both the lower, as well as the upper, part of the door, as shown in the drawing. Meeting this requirement can be resolved through either a single long rectangular or oblong vision panel, or by fitting multiple vision panels.
Fixing methods
All Phoenix vision panels are designed to fix to their corresponding half on the other side of the door. This not only aids installation but also ensures that in the event of a fire the vision panel will remain in place for in excess of the requisite fire rated period.
Fixing options: Visible studs on both sides, Visible studs on one side only, Countersunk fasteners within the angled rim of one or both sides of the vision panel.
Solid or hollow doors
The above fixing system allows the Phoenix vision panels to be fitted to either solid or hollow core doors. Where the door structure is inadequate to ensure the rigidity of the door when clamping the vision panel in place, or to retain the fire intumescence material, additional liners can be quoted for.
Door thicknesses
The majority of vision panels are fitted to standard 44mm and 54mm door thicknesses. Phoenix vision panels are designed to cover a small variation in door thickness from the nominal sizes, but specifying the exact thickness of the doors will assist in ensuring the system supplied will match your doorsets.
Glazing systems
Phoenix vision panels have been rated for a wide range of different glazing systems.
Fitting Instructions
Example of fitting instructions for square vision panel through fasteners and visible fixing studs on both sides.
- Cut the aperture in the door in the required position (Check with Approved Document M - Building Regulations Access to and use of buildings), for the correct position.
- Remove backing paper from the Intumescent Strips (A) and position the intumescent strips around the inside of the aperture.
- Position the outer/inner frame assembly (B) into the aperture, ensuring it is parallel to the edge of the door and mark through the fixing holes.
- Drill the fixing holes with 10mm diameter bores, ensuring they are square to the face of the door.
- Position the ourter/inner frame assembly (B) and the outer frame assembly (C) into the aperture, pass the fixing stud nut assembly (D) through the fixing holes, then fit nut (E) on the opposite side.
- Ensure both frame assemblies are parallel to the edge of the door and tighten the fixing assemblies using the key provided ensuring the complete assembly is firmly fixed in place.

Finger Protection Devices
Finger protection devices are a simple, effective and inexpensive system for protecting hands or fingers being trapped between door and frame on the wider hinge opening side. A number of options are available.
Pivot Sets
Phoenix Double action Door Pivot Sets provide an unobtrusive and service free door hinge system that allows doors to swing freely in each direction. The pivots are designed for medium duty internal applications for door widths up to 1100mm and weights up to 80kg when floor mounted and up to 30kg when jamb mounted. The main pivot hinge components are manufactured from 304 grade stainless steel with self lubricating polymer bush bearings, which provide a maintenance free operation, guaranteed for 25 years. A 9mm radius is recommended on the pivot door edges for 44mm thick doors and a 12mm radius is required on 54mm thick doors. The set includes bottom pivot assembly, top pivot assembly and mounting brackets. The standard finish is satin stainless steel.
Phoenix door pivots can be used in conjunction with a lockable stop or lockable hinged door jamb to provide standard access in one direction only, with optional emergency access in the other.
Fitting Instructions
- Determine the position of the Pivot centre line in the door (top and bottom). Maintaining the 4mm minimum dimension between door and frame. Ensure pivots are in line. Fit the top and bottom door pivots in the door.
- Fit the top pivot into the head of the door frame, positioned to give the 4mm minimum dimension between the door and frame. Ensure top pivot moves freely after fitting.
- Fit the bottom pivot bracket to the door frame and door.
- Fit the door by lowering the door onto the bottom pivot. Position the top of the door so that the top pivot pin locates into the top door pivot, (the door needs to be in the open position). Turn the pivot pin setting screw in a clockwise direction to lower the pivot pin setting screw in a clockwise direction to lower the pivot pin into the top door pivot. Tighten the pivot pin setting screw.
- Adjustment is provided in the Bottom Pivot bracket to adjust the height of the door if required. The door has to be removed to be able to adjust the bottom pivot pin height. If adjusting be sure to tighten the lock nut after adjustment.
