What are the most common reasons commercial fire doors fail?
The most frequent failures are improper installation (gaps or misalignment that reduce fire resistance), worn intumescent strips and smoke seals, damaged or faulty hardware (closers, hinges, latches), blocked or wedged-open doors, and a general lack of routine maintenance.
How often should commercial fire doors be inspected?
Most commercial buildings require an annual fire door inspection. High-traffic premises and high-risk environments should be checked more frequently — quarterly is common — and any door should be re-inspected after building modifications or fire-related incidents.
Can a damaged fire door be repaired or must it be replaced?
Many fire doors can be repaired — closers, intumescent strips, smoke seals, hinges and signage are all replaceable. The leaf and frame can sometimes be re-aligned. Replacement is required when the leaf is structurally damaged, certification labels are missing, or non-compliant modifications cannot be reversed.
What happens if a fire door fails an inspection?
A failed inspection identifies remedial works that must be completed to restore compliance. Until corrected, the responsible person carries the legal and insurance risk. Records of the failure and the subsequent remedial work should be kept for compliance evidence.
Who is responsible for fire door compliance in a commercial building?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the "responsible person" — typically the building owner, employer, occupier or facilities manager — is accountable for ensuring fire doors are installed, maintained and inspected to the required standard.
