Question 1

How often should fire doors be inspected and maintained?

Accepted Answer

Fire doors should undergo professional inspection every 6 months as recommended by British Standards (BS 9999). However, high-traffic doors may require more frequent assessment. We also recommend monthly visual checks by your facilities team to identify obvious issues like damaged seals, misaligned doors, or missing signage.

Question 2

What are the signs that my fire door needs repair?

Accepted Answer

Key warning signs include doors that don't close properly or require force to shut, visible gaps around the frame exceeding 4mm, damaged or missing intumescent strips, cracked or missing glazing, worn door closers, damaged signage, and any visible structural damage to the door or frame.
