fire doors and frames

I have to replace a number of existing doors and frames with fire doors and frames. After extensive research I have decided to take this job on myself. I have read the fire regs and feel I have good understanding of them.

I was wondering if you seasoned pros can give me any advice about putting the frames up and the best way to hang the doors. I understand the basics and just want to make sure I have everything covered before I take on the job.

Regards

Make sure you get a door lifter:

Priceless when it comes to fitting the door and you are trying to screw up the hinges.

The Axminster one seems a bit overpriced - I paid less than £10 on ebay for mine.
