Why Fire Door Inspections Matter

Fire doors play a critical role in a building’s fire safety strategy. They’re designed to prevent smoke and flames from spreading, helping to protect escape routes and buy valuable time for evacuation.

Over time, general wear, damage, and incorrect adjustments can compromise a fire door’s structural integrity. Regular door inspections ensure that every fire door continues to perform effectively as part of your building’s fire safety measures.

By law, responsible persons in residential buildings and communal areas must ensure fire doors are maintained and inspected regularly. Failing to do so can result in breaches of fire door regulations, as stated

How Often Should Fire Doors Be Inspected?

The Fire Safety Act and fire door regulations require responsible persons to carry out regular inspections to maintain compliance. For multi-occupied residential buildings, flat entrance doors should be inspected annually, and communal area doors at least every six months.

These six-monthly inspections help ensure each fire door continues to meet the standards outlined in Approved Document B and maintains its fire resisting qualities.

Who Can Carry Out Fire Door Inspections?

Fire door inspections should only be performed by a competent person with the appropriate knowledge, training, and accreditation. KCI Fire Protection’s team are fully certified fire door inspectors and hold third party accreditation with National Association of Fire Door Inspectors (NAFDI). This helps to ensure every inspection process meets current building regulations and fire protection standards.

We understand the complexities of inspecting fire doors in domestic premises, commercial properties, and multi-occupied residential buildings, and our experienced team can help ensure you remain fully compliant with all legal and regulatory requirements.
