Why Fire Door Compliance Matters

Fire Doors Save Lives – But Only If They’re Maintained

When it comes to fire safety, every second counts. Fire doors are one of the most critical components in protecting lives and property during a fire. But here’s the truth: a fire door is only effective if it’s properly maintained and compliant.

Why Fire Door Compliance Matters

Fire doors are designed to resist the spread of fire and smoke, giving occupants time to evacuate and emergency services time to respond. However, over time, wear and tear, improper use, or lack of inspections can compromise their integrity.

Common issues we see include:

  • Damaged seals or missing intumescent strips
  • Misaligned hinges or latches
  • Gaps that exceed legal tolerances
  • Unauthorised alterations or propping open

These faults can render a fire door useless in an emergency.

The Legal and Moral Responsibility

Under UK fire safety regulations, building owners and responsible persons are legally required to ensure fire doors are regularly inspected and maintained. Non-compliance can lead to serious consequences – not just fines, but potential loss of life.
