Spot problems early
Common Fire Door Issues We Find
Small issues can have serious consequences. We identify problems before they become risks.
Missing or damaged seals
Damaged smoke or intumescent seals can reduce protection.
Excessive gaps
Poor margins can allow smoke and fire to spread more quickly.
Failed closers
Doors need to close and latch reliably after use.
Incorrect signage
Missing signs make everyday use and compliance harder.
Damaged hinges
Loose or unsuitable hinges can affect the whole doorset.
