At Safety Net Fire Solutions, we understand that fire safety isn’t optional, it’s essential. A key component in any building’s passive fire protection strategy is the fire door. These specialised doors play a vital role in slowing the spread of fire and smoke, protecting lives, property, and giving emergency services valuable time to respond. Whether you need new fire doors, repairs, inspections, or ongoing maintenance, our expert team has you covered across the West Midlands.
What Is a Fire Door?
A fire door is a specially constructed door that is designed to withstand fire and smoke for a set period, typically 30 or 60 minutes (FD30 or FD60 rated). These doors are part of a passive fire protection system and are engineered to:
- Contain fire within a compartment
- Maintain a safe escape route for occupants
- Protect key areas of a building
- Reduce overall damage by slowing fire spread
They are manufactured using fire-resistant materials and must be installed correctly with compatible fire-rated frames, seals, hinges, and ironmongery to meet British Standards and building regulations.
Fire Door Maintenance
It's Not Just Important, It's Legally Required
Like all safety systems, fire doors need to be maintained regularly to ensure they perform as intended during an emergency. Over time, doors can warp, seals degrade, or hardware may fail. Regular maintenance is not only strongly recommended—it is often a legal requirement under UK fire safety law.
Fire door maintenance typically includes:
- Checking for damage, wear and tear
- Ensuring doors close correctly
- Replacing defective seals, hinges, and components
- Adjusting alignment and closing mechanisms
- Confirming fire ratings and compliance
Peace of Mind That Your Fire Doors Are Compliant
Regular fire door inspections are essential. A visual inspection can identify many common faults, but a professional assessment by a competent person ensures full compliance with BS 8214:2016 and the Fire Safety Order 2005.
At Safety Net Fire Solutions, our qualified team conducts thorough fire door inspections that include:
- Door leaf condition and integrity
- Frame condition and compatibility
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Door closer and hinge function
- Fire-rated glazing (where applicable)
- Gaps and clearances
- Signage and compliance with legislation
After inspection, we provide a comprehensive report detailing any non-compliances and recommend remedial actions.
