Fire Door Survey Report
Fire Door Survey Report & Fire Door Inspection Report:
A recent survey of fire door inspections revealed that 61% of the doors inspected had issues with fire & smoke seals,
25% had problems with hinges and 1 in 6 had problems with the door leaf.
Therefore, making sure your fire doors and all the components that make up your fire door are 100% compliant is absolutely crucial to the performance of ANY fire door in the event of a fire.

 | Fire Door: Inspection Guide It is required that approved fire rated fire doors are suitably fitted in the required legal locations & the approved fire door has accompanying door frames fitted, to meet fire & building regulations. These locations and fire ratings are determined by approved building regulations, the type of premises and a suitable & sufficient fire risk assessment to ensure low, medium & high risk and high priority areas are both suitably addressed & legally covered. |
| Fire Door: Rating Guide 1. FD30 = 30 minute 'fire rated' 2. FD60 = 60 minute 'fire rated' 3. FD30(s) = c/w 'smoke seals' 4. FD60(s) = c/w 'smoke seals'
That is to say:
Any deviation can invalidate your fire doors approved fire ratings. |  |

How Often Should You Inspect Your Fire Doors?
The answer to this question varies significantly. 6 months for most low risk and medium traffic is advised. Whilst your fire risk assessment should indicate, it is more likely for the 'higher risk premises' and high risk traffic & use, that you will require a more formal & suitable inspection routine to satisfy your management system in-place for both your fire doors & fire door furniture, along with any accompanying systems affixed to the fire doors such as electro-magnetic door closing devices or any fire door release devices, which will all need to comply to certain specific regulations in their own right, whilst also requiring more formal & thorough & regular inspection & checking routines to meet required British Standards & The RRFSO 2005.
