Fire doors play a crucial role in passive fire protection, providing vital escape routes and containing the spread of fire and smoke. However, their effectiveness depends entirely on proper maintenance and regular inspection.

Why Fire Doors Fail

Common issues that compromise fire door integrity include:

• Damaged or missing intumescent seals
• Gaps around door edges exceeding 3mm
• Faulty self-closing mechanisms
• Damaged hinges or door leaves
• Inappropriate modifications or alterations

Inspection Frequency

Under current UK regulations, fire doors in common areas of residential buildings should be inspected quarterly, while all fire doors should undergo a comprehensive annual inspection by a competent person.
