Why Fire Door Inspections Matter?

Regular fire door inspections are crucial for safety and compliance. Fire doors contain fires, enabling safe evacuation and minimizing property damage. Over time, wear, damage, or misalignment can compromise their effectiveness, putting lives and property at risk. Our thorough inspections assess all components—door leaf, frame, seals, hinges, and closing mechanisms—to ensure optimal function and compliance with safety standards.

Our Fire Door Inspection Process

Visual Inspection

We conduct a thorough visual inspection of each fire door to check for visible signs of wear, damage, or tampering. This includes examining the door frame, hardware, and seals for compliance with fire safety regulations.

Operational Testing

Our inspectors evaluate the functionality of the door, ensuring it closes and latches properly without obstruction. We test hinges, closers, and other moving parts to verify that they operate smoothly and effectively.

Seal and Gap Test

Fire doors must have the appropriate seals and maintain specific gaps to prevent smoke and flames from passing through. We inspect intumescent seals, fire-rated glazing, and gap tolerances.

Hardware Assessment

Our team checks that all hardware – from hinges and latches to automatic closing devices – is fire-rated, installed correctly, and in working order.

Compliance Verification

We document the compliance status (BS 8214 standards) of each fire door and provide clients with a detailed report, highlighting any areas that need repair or replacement.

Benefits of Regular Fire Door Maintenance

Routine maintenance ensures that your fire doors function as intended, providing uninterrupted protection. With regular maintenance, you can avoid costly repairs by addressing minor issues early and extend the lifespan of your fire doors. Properly maintained doors also help you remain compliant with fire safety regulations, protecting you and your business from potential fines or penalties due to non-compliance.

Lubrication and Adjustment

We ensure that hinges, closing mechanisms, and other components are properly lubricated and aligned for smooth operation.

Seal Replacement

Over time, seals can degrade, compromising the door’s ability to contain smoke and fire. We replace worn or damaged seals with high-quality fire-rated materials.

Hardware Upgrades

If any hardware components are outdated or non-compliant, we recommend and install suitable replacements that meet current safety standards.

Documentation

Following each inspection and maintenance session, we provide thorough documentation of the work completed and any necessary follow-up actions.
