Six KEYOR steel‑door declarations are set to expire in March 2027. If fresh EPDs are not published in time, specifiers on projects that require current declarations will reach for alternatives that keep documentation clean and risk down. The good news is that the window to renew is still open. The opportunity is to move these products onto today’s rule set and keep them easy to specify without last‑minute scrambles.

What expires in March 2027

KEYOR has six steel‑door FDES/EPDs that reach end of validity in March 2027 under the INIES program (KEYOR FDES, 2022). Products covered include:

  • Bloc‑Porte d'entrée acier anti‑effraction sur huisserie métallique.
  • Bloc‑Porte d'entrée acier sur huisserie bois et sur huisserie métallique. Example FDES on keyor.fr.
  • Bloc‑Porte palière ou coursive acier sur huisserie bois et sur huisserie métallique. Example FDES on keyor.fr.
  • Bloc‑Porte de cave et de service acier sur huisserie métallique. Example FDES on keyor.fr.
  • Bloc‑Porte palière ou coursive acier anti‑effraction sur huisserie métallique.
  • Bloc‑Porte de service acier isolante sur huisserie métallique.

Representative PDFs are available on KEYOR’s site for several of these models, such as entrance, corridor and service steel doors. See the manufacturer’s posted FDES for entrée, palière or coursive, and service‑door insulated variants on keyor.fr.

Are replacements live yet

As of July 20, 2026, we do not see newer KEYOR EPDs covering these same steel‑door families with validity beyond March 2027. Given that most construction product EPDs are issued on a five‑year cycle, these declarations are right on schedule for renewal (IBU, 2025) (IBU, 2025).

What happens if they lapse

When an EPD reaches its end date in INIES, program rules allow de‑listing unless a justified extension is requested in advance. INIES asks for extension requests to be sent at least three months before the expiry date, with documentation (INIES FAQ, 2026) (INIES FAQ, 2026). If a lapse occurs, specifiers on EPD‑required jobs will usually pivot to products with current declarations to avoid extra assumptions and carbon accounting penalties carried by generic data.

Likely specification drift, by use case

Think in use cases rather than SKUs. Entrance security doors and apartment‑level corridor doors are high‑volume in residential work. Service and cellar doors are the quiet sleepers that still trigger EPD asks on institutional refurbishments. If a declaration is missing at bid time, the path of least resistance is a comparable door with a clean, current EPD attached. It is like switching to the only streaming app that still holds the rights on match day.

Competitor EPDs that are spec‑ready today

Here are three credible alternatives teams may reach for if a gap opens:

  • ASSA ABLOY Curries 707 Series hollow‑metal doors, UL program, current through mid‑2028, widely used across U.S. commercial work (UL EPD, 2025) (UL EPD, 2025).
  • DEYA steel anti‑effraction doors for entrance, palière and coursive applications, France, current FDES under INIES from 2024 (DEYA FDES, 2024).
  • JELD‑WEN Swedoor interior classified burglary‑resistant and exterior door families with current EPDs in EPD Hub, covering RC3 and related options in the Nordics and EU markets (EPD Hub, 2024).

These are not endorsements, just a realistic map of where specs may go when time is tight.

Renewal focus areas that smooth verification

Two things keep renewal fast. First, align with today’s rule set in Europe, meaning EN 15804+A2 for construction products. Second, gather plant‑level data early for the latest reference year, including energy by source, inbound materials by supplier and lane, and packaging. A clean data room lets the verifier move quickly and keeps questions to a minimum. It also helps if variants are clearly grouped so families can be documented once, not ten times.

Why timing matters for sales enablement

A current EPD keeps products visible in databases used by designers and consultants and avoids substitution for paperwork reasons alone. Renewal is rarely about reshaping the product. It is about keeping documentation continuous so sales teams do not have to fight uphill in EPD‑required bids. Lose the paperwork, and you can lose the line item, even when performance is identical.

Where to find KEYOR materials

KEYOR posts EPD PDFs and product details on its website. Examples include steel entrance doors, corridor doors, and service doors. Browse the metal‑door catalogue and relevant product pages on keyor.fr for SKUs, options and references.

Bottom line for teams planning 2027 projects

Six KEYOR steel‑door EPDs hit their renewal window in March 2027. There is still time to refresh and keep every spec path open. Start the internal data pull, select the operator, and book verification early so distributors and project teams recieve uninterrupted, spec‑ready documentation through 2027 and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which specific KEYOR steel‑door EPDs expire in March 2027?

Entrance steel door, entrance steel door on wood or metal frames, corridor or landing steel door on wood or metal frames, cellar and service steel door on metal frame, corridor or landing steel door anti‑effraction on metal frame, and insulated service steel door on metal frame. All are registered in INIES with validity to March 2027 (KEYOR FDES, 2022).

Are replacement EPDs already available for these KEYOR products?

As of July 20, 2026, we do not see newer KEYOR EPDs for these door families extending beyond March 2027. Renewal would keep them visible to specifiers and in compliance with current rules.

What is the typical validity of construction EPDs in Europe?

Most operators apply a five‑year validity to construction product EPDs, after which an update is required (IBU, 2025) ([IBU, 2025](https://ibu-epd.com/en/epd-creation/)).

How much lead time does INIES expect for extension requests?

INIES asks that requests to delay removal be submitted at least three months before the EPD’s end date with supporting documents (INIES FAQ, 2026) ([INIES FAQ, 2026](https://www.inies.fr/ressources-faq/foire-aux-questions/)).

Which competitor products are likely to be specified if a gap appears?

Examples include ASSA ABLOY Curries 707 Series steel doors with a current UL EPD through mid‑2028 (UL EPD, 2025), DEYA steel anti‑effraction doors with 2024 FDES, and JELD‑WEN Swedoor classified doors with current EPDs listed in EPD Hub.
