Fire doors are critical to protect escape routes and to ensure they don’t become unusable due to smoke and heat.
They can protect refuge points to buy more time to evacuate disabled or vulnerable persons.
Fire doors can also protect occupants if they are trapped in a building to allow time for the fire and rescue services to arrive.
Studies show that a significant number of fire doors have faults that could reduce their performance in an emergency.
This is where fire door surveys come in.
A fire door survey helps identify defects such as:
• Incorrect installation
• Damaged seals or gaps
• Faulty closers and hinges
• Non-compliant materials
Regular inspections ensure that faults within the fire doors system are identified and arrangements for repair can then be made.
This will ensure that they perform as they should—containing fire, protecting escape routes, and ultimately saving lives.
Compliance isn’t just about ticking boxes, it’s about peoples safety, responsibility, and risk management.
