How to Know If Your Fire Door Needs Repairs or Maintenance
It’s not always obvious when a fire door needs repair or maintenance, but there are some clear warning signs to watch out for. If the door doesn’t close fully, or you notice gaps around the frame, it could fail to hold back smoke and flames in an emergency.
If your fire exit door has visible damage like cracks, warping or peeling around the seals, this will also need to be repaired as soon as possible. Check the movement of the door, as loose, missing or damaged hinges can prevent the door from functioning correctly in a fire. The same goes for damaged intumescent strips, as they won’t be able to seal gaps between the door and frame, which is needed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke.
Even if your fire doors look fully functional, everyday wear and tear will affect performance over time. This is why you need regular inspections and fire door repairs to keep your premises ready for any dangerous situation.
The Importance of Fire Door Repairs and Maintenance
Booking regular inspections and fire door repairs ensures problems are spotted before they escalate, which keeps your building safe against the threat of fire. Fire doors are a crucial part of your building’s fire safety system, so they must be in top condition.
In the UK, businesses and property managers have a legal obligation to ensure fire doors comply with safety regulations. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires that fire doors be regularly checked and maintained. Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 also state the importance of regular checks for self-closing devices and the overall condition of fire doors. Failing to make repairs can result in fines or prosecution.
As well as these regulations, fire doors must also adhere to the building regulations for the specific type of fire door, based on the building’s use and risk assessment.
Professional fire door maintenance ensures any issues are spotted and repaired quickly, so your doors meet this legislation - it’s the best way to protect your building and the people inside it.
Our Fire Door Repair and Maintenance Services
Repairs
If the fire door inspection highlights any areas that need repairing, these need to be carried out promptly. The most common fire door repairs are often related to worn hinges, faulty self-closing mechanisms or damaged intumescent or smoke seals. These components are essential for containing smoke and fire, so if damaged, they should be restored or replaced as soon as possible.
If any parts are worn or faulty, we usually replace parts on the spot to ensure smooth, compliant operation that fits with your building’s needs. If we find that the fire door doesn’t meet safety standards, our engineers are on hand to carry out rapid repairs, helping you avoid prolonged downtime.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance is a smart investment to prevent issues before they get serious. Our regular fire door maintenance services include checking that doors close properly, inspecting hinges and locks and ensuring seals are intact and undamaged.
Our engineers carry out thorough inspections and diagnostics, checking key components, including sensors, motors, control panels and safety systems, to flag any early warning signs of damage which prevent costly repairs. Our ongoing maintenance plans are tailored to your building’s usage, and we ensure you never miss a checkup.
This approach means you’re far less likely to face sudden repairs, which can be disruptive to your building and its occupants, and you can be confident your doors are compliant with current fire safety laws.
Types of Fire Doors We Repair
Automatic Fire Doors
Automatic fire doors are designed for convenience and safety, but like any frequently used equipment, they need regular service and maintenance to ensure they’re performing as they should be. Our fire door repairs ensure components like sensors, motors and safety mechanisms are working correctly, to ensure the safety of all occupants in the case of a fire.
Regular service and maintenance of automatic doors ensures they’re operating correctly, which keeps them reliable when you need them most. Whether they need to stay closed to contain a fire or open to allow safe evacuation, we take the time to understand what you need.
Manual Fire Doors
Manual fire doors need proper repair and maintenance to make sure they can be operated quickly in the event of a fire. Over time, hinges, latches and seals can wear out, which reduces their ability to stop the spread of smoke and flames. Our fire door repairs for steel doors cover everything from replacing worn hardware to reducing internal gaps to slow the transfer of heat and make sure they close securely.
Steel fire exit doors rarely malfunction, but it’s still important to keep a regular maintenance schedule. With routine maintenance from DUK Doors, manual fire doors remain easy to operate and compliant with legal safety standards, which protects both your people and property.
