What Is A Fire Door?

Fire doors with fire-rated resistance are vital for a building’s passive fire prevention plan. They essentially have one purpose — to stop and suppress the spread of fire, be it within, into, or out of the building. Fire doors enable fire compartmentation, which is basically the process of strategically placing physical barriers around the building in such a way that it slows the spread of fire and smoke during emergencies.

Why Conduct A Fire Door Inspection?

Fire door inspections are a sure-shot way of ensuring that the installed door performs according to its functionality. This is done by a thorough inspection that checks all its components and how they work to ensure they function adequately during a fire.
While conducting a fire door inspection, some critical elements are checked on priority. These are:
  • Door hinges
  • Smoke seals
  • Fire door signage
  • Closing mechanism
  • Doors and frames
