ᐅ Door Between House and Garage: Secondary Entrance Door as a Fire-Rated Door?

Hello!
We are building our garage directly attached to the house – at least that’s the plan for later; for now, it’s just the house.
Our front door will have a triple locking system with an automatic lock (RC1). All the windows are also RC1 rated.
The door to the garage is currently just a standard steel fire door with a standard lock and single locking mechanism. Because of this, I wanted a proper side entrance door with the same lock as the front door.
However, it seems such a door is not available as a fire door.
1) Is a fire door or a smoke-tight door (T30) really necessary there?
2) Does anyone know of T30 doors with a solid (at least triple) locking system (automatic lock installable) and an acceptable U-value?

I have a lock like this only on the side entrance door from the garage to the garden – but the window installer offered it on his own initiative. In addition, there is a burglar-resistant gate...

For example, if your car catches fire in the garage How often does that actually happen nowadays? In my opinion, the requirement for a fire-resistant door is a bit exaggerated (a carport next to an external wall insulation system is also allowed).

A friend’s car caught fire by itself in the middle of the night a few months ago. (The investigation found no evidence of external influence.) Fortunately, the car was parked on the street.

(a carport next to an external thermal insulation composite system is also allowed). That’s true. Maybe it’s not ideal either.

We have now decided on a steel door T30 with RC2 security rating and continuous sealing.May I ask what the cost was (including the scope of services)?Jochen104 schrieb:

Individual cases unfortunately never provide statistical information.Sorry for bringing up this old thread again, but I’m currently dealing with the exact same issue:
I’m looking for a door between the garage and the house that is at least RC2 rated with a motorized lock.
I thought I needed a T30 door the whole time, but from what I’m reading here, it seems we don’t need that in Bavaria after all?
I have a quote for a T30 door with a motorized lock and RC2 rating, but the extra cost for the BUS motorized lock is 2,000 EUR. That’s definitely too expensive for me.
Does anyone have any tips on how to solve this more affordably?
