Even the best fire door won’t work properly without regular maintenance. Over time, hinges may loosen, seals can degrade, and gaps may increase — all of which reduce its fire-resistance effectiveness.
Basic Maintenance Checklist:
-
Inspect the door closer function.
-
Check the condition of seals and intumescent strips.
-
Ensure door alignment and tight sealing.
-
Lubricate hinges and locking mechanisms.
-
Remove obstructions that might prevent closing.
Schedule a fire door inspection at least once a year or as per local regulations.
