Provided by Fire Door Safety Week, you can follow the below steps when checking your fire door:
1. Certification
Look for a label (located on the leaf or frame for Strongdor doors) that is certified and CE-marked on your door. All ironmongery such as locks, closers & hinges must be CE marked and compatible with the door leaf's certification. Do not self-modify this and create a fault with your fire door.
2. Apertures
Altering the door for glazing apertures and air transfer louvres will void your fire certification!
3. Gaps & Seals
Check the gaps around the top and sides of your door, it should be consistently less than 4mm when closed. Ensure intumescent seals are fitted at the top and sides of the door to prevent fire to travel through.
4. Closers
Check that there is a closer to shut the door onto the latch properly. If the door does not latch, there will not be a complete barrier against the fire. Make sure to report this.
