What Does Fire Door Compliance Really Mean?
Many buildings have fire doors, but very few manage them correctly. Fire door compliance requires more than just installation — it involves:
-
Regular Inspections
Fire doors must be checked at appropriate intervals (often every 6 months, or more frequently in high-use areas). -
Ongoing Maintenance
Damaged seals, loose hardware, and swollen doors can all render a fire door non-compliant — and legally unsafe. -
Documentation and Evidence
Landlords and duty holders must be able to show that fire doors are regularly checked, maintained, and recorded. -
Awareness of Risk and Use
Doors near kitchens, stairwells, or main exits typically face more wear and require closer oversight.
We help clients understand these factors and implement realistic, tailored strategies to manage their buildings proactively.
