Fire Door Installation

We specialise in compliant fire door installation, which is a critical component of the fire strategy of a building.

Article 17 of The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 states “Where necessary in order to safeguard the safety of relevant persons the responsible person must ensure that the premises and any facilities, equipment and devices provided in respect of the premises under this Order or, subject to paragraph (6), under any other enactment, including any enactment repealed or revoked by this Order, are subject to a suitable system of maintenance and are maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair”.

This includes fire doors.

BS8214 – Timber-based fire door assemblies – Code of practice, Section 13 Maintenance states “doors do deteriorate, and this is most likely to occur during the occupation of the building, since they are used in locations along pedestrian transit routes where they might be subject to significant damage or normal wear and tear” and the standard continues “it is important, therefore, for inspection, maintenance and repair of any damage to be undertaken on a regular basis if the required fire resistance is to be maintained”.

Where fire doors are beyond repair, they will need to be replaced.

Fire Door Installation FAQs

 

  1. What is a fire door, and why is it important?

 

A fire door is a specially designed door that helps to prevent the spread of fire and smoke between different areas of a building. It is crucial for enhancing safety, protecting escape routes, and minimising property damage during a fire.

 

  1. What are the requirements for fire door installations?

 

Fire doors must meet specific building codes and standards, which may vary by region. Typically, they must be certified by a recognised testing agency, have appropriate fire ratings (e.g., 30, 60, or 90 minutes), and be installed with proper frames, hardware, and seals to ensure effectiveness.

 

  1. Who can install fire doors?

 

Fire doors should be installed by qualified professionals who understand the relevant codes and standards. It’s important to hire someone experienced in fire safety regulations to ensure the installation meets all legal requirements and functions correctly.

 

  1. Can I install a fire door myself?

 

While it may be tempting to install a fire door as a DIY project, hiring a professional is highly recommended. Improper installation can compromise the door’s effectiveness and violate safety codes, putting occupants at risk.
