Fire doors are a vital part of a building’s fire safety system, but over time they can develop issues that compromise their effectiveness. If your fire door inspection highlights the need for remedial work, timely repairs can help restore compliance and functionality - often at a lower cost than a full replacement.
When Do Fire Doors Need Repair?
Fire door repairs are essential when damage, wear, or improper installation affects their ability to contain fire and smoke. A non-compliant fire door can have serious consequences in the event of a fire, including legal action against the responsible person for failing to meet fire safety obligations.
Common fire door repairs include:
Adjusting leaf and threshold gaps to meet regulatory requirements.
Replacing or repairing hinges to ensure proper door movement and ensure they are fire rated.
Fixing or replacing fire door glazing for continued fire resistance.
Servicing or replacing door closing devices to ensure doors shut correctly.
Checking and replacing intumescent strips to maintain smoke and fire resistance.
Signs Your Fire Doors Need Inspection Or Repair
If you notice any of the following issues, your fire doors may require servicing or repairs:
-
Difficulty closing or keeping the door shut firmly.
-
Visible gaps around the edges of the door when closed.
-
A door that is stiff, difficult to move, or misaligned.
