Fire Door Maintenance

Ensuring Fire Door Performance & Compliance

Fire doors are a vital component of a building’s passive fire protection system, but their effectiveness relies on proper maintenance.

Over time, wear and tear, damage, or improper use can compromise their ability to contain fire and smoke, putting lives and property at risk.

Regular fire door maintenance is essential to ensure ongoing compliance with fire safety regulations and to maintain the integrity of your building’s fire protection measures.

At Overbrook, we offer comprehensive fire door maintenance services to ensure your fire doors remain fully functional, compliant, and effective in the event of a fire.

The Importance of Fire Door Maintenance

Fire Safety Compliance

Fire doors must meet BS 9999 and The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requirements. Poorly maintained doors may not provide the necessary fire resistance rating (FD30, FD60, FD90, or FD120), resulting in regulatory non-compliance and increased fire risk.

Extending Fire Door Lifespan

Regular inspections and maintenance help prevent costly repairs and replacements, ensuring your fire doors remain in peak condition for as long as possible.

Addressing minor issues early can prevent them from escalating into serious safety hazards.

Protecting Occupants & Property

A fire door that does not function correctly can lead to uncontrolled fire and smoke spread, significantly increasing risk to occupants. Ensuring that seals, hinges, self-closers, and door frames are in optimal condition is critical to maintaining fire safety standards.
