6 Things To Be Considered For Fire Door
Inspection
2
Certification
A fire door should always have a mark of
certification either on the top of the door or
inside. The label of certification shows that it
is afire door and has a fire-resistance rating.
It is also the mark of the manufacturer that
proves its authentication.
3
Gaps
Fire doors are passive fire protection installers
that need to be inspected regularly. The gaping
between the door leaf and the frame should be
between 2-4mm. Excess gaping will lead to the
spreading of fire. The seals will not work as a
result, there will be no stoppage to fire.

Seals
The seals are an important aspect of a fire door.
They play an important role in stopping the
spread of fire. Make sure that the seals are not
broken or missing. Also, the seals will not work
if the gaping is too large or too small.
5
Hinges
Hinges are a crucial component of a fire door.
Always check that there are 3 firmly fixed hinges
on a fire door. Any broken or missing screw in a
hinge, will not work in an emergency. The hinges
should be in proper condition for a fire door to
function smoothly.
6
Closing Capability
A fire door will only work when closed. Make sure
that a fire door closes from all angles. A fire
door that remains open is inoperative during an
emergency and needs repair. So, verify its
closing capability before an emergency.
7
Regular Inspections
Passive fire protection installers need
inspection on regular basis by trained
technicians. A fire door should be checked at
least twice a year for its smooth functioning.
All the pars should be checked regularly to avoid
any unwanted happening in an emergency.
