54mm Fire Doors

Fire doors require regular maintenance to ensure their long-term performance, functionality, and compliance with fire safety regulations. Proper maintenance helps to identify and address potential issues before they become serious problems. Here are some key aspects of fire door maintenance:

• Visual inspection: Routinely inspect the door's surface, edges, and frame for signs of damage, warping, or wear. Check for gaps between the door and the frame, which should not exceed the manufacturer's recommended tolerances. Make sure the door closes securely and forms a tight seal with the frame.
• Hardware inspection: Examine all door hardware, such as hinges, handles, locks, and closers, for signs of wear or damage. Ensure that hinges are securely fastened and lubricated, and that locks and handles operate smoothly.
• Intumescent strips and seals: Inspect the intumescent strips and smoke seals for damage or wear. Replace any damaged or worn-out seals to maintain the door's fire and smoke resistance.
• Door operation: Test the door's operation by opening and closing it to ensure it moves smoothly without binding or scraping. If the door has a self-closing mechanism, verify that it closes securely and without obstruction.
• Glazing: If the door features fire-rated glazing, inspect the glass panels for cracks or other damage. Ensure that the glazing beads and seals are in good condition and securely fitted.
• Adjustments and repairs: Address any identified issues promptly, using compatible replacement parts and following the manufacturer's guidelines. If you're unsure about the necessary repairs or adjustments, consult a professional carpenter or door installer.

By performing regular maintenance on your internal fire doors, you can help ensure their continued effectiveness in protecting your property and its occupants in the event of a fire. It is also essential to maintain compliance with local fire safety regulations and building codes.
