As with any life saving product, a fire door needs to be inspected regularly, ensuring it is functioning properly and will offer protection in the event of a fire. The same applies to fire door maintenance, which should be done at least once every six months, where the AJM Fire Safety team of experienced technicians will test the door to ensure that it remains working properly.

A fire door is expected to perform when a fire breaks out. A slight alteration to the door or surroundings can impact its performance, which is why you want regular fire door maintenance and inspections, ensuring it will performed as designed should a fire break out in your building.

Jonny Millard, the General Manager at AJM Fire Safety, said “While we recommend checks every six months, we do recommend more frequent checks to new buildings, which are still in their first year. We also recommend more regular checks for fire doors in high use areas. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires that fire resistant doors and escape doors be properly installed and maintained to make them fit for purpose, this is a legal requirement.”

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 refers to buildings and other domestic housing, replacing 118 pieces of previous fire legislation, including old fire certificates. The law has put the responsibility on the person responsible for day to day control of the premises, rather than the authorities.

Using a fire door on a daily basis can cause slight alterations to occur to the door and surrounds, which can impact the overall performance of the fire door. Regular inspections by a competent person can ensure that any defects are noted and addressed through regular maintenance.
