Fire Door Inspections

In any commercial location, such as a store, medical facility, workplace or elsewhere, there will be a requirement for the provision of adequate fire safety precautions for all end users. One of the most important aspects of this is the condition of the fire doors, which will have the dual functions of not only enabling speedy, safe egress from the building, but also to contain or slow down the progress of flames and smoke in the event of a fire.

When they are functioning at their very best levels, internal and external fire doors can of course save lives. If you’re an owner, a manager or any other responsible person, you need to be doing all you can to ensure their continued suitability for purpose. Fire doors, like many other crucial safety measures, may never be needed, but if they are then you simply can’t take chances on whether they will let you down or not.

It’s important, therefore, to make sure your fire doors are inspected regularly by qualified specialists who have the eye for detail that’s so necessary. Here at A-Class Glass and Joinery, we can help you to remain compliant at all times with the relevant regulations, and our inspectors may even be able to identify problems long before they are allowed to become major issues. Our valued input could be vital for your premises.

Over a period of time, fire doors can become damaged, either through general wear and tear, deliberate vandalism or accidental misuse. Early identification of such issues can help your building to remain safer, of course, and it could also end up saving you money in the long run. Remedial work, as well as planned maintenance, will help your business to keep costs to a minimum and can help with budget forecasting.

Making sure your fire doors are able to do their job

In larger buildings and more complex facilities, both internal and external fire doors will be configured in such a way as to compartmentalise flames and smoke should the worst scenario start to unfold. If your doors are inspected regularly and maintained to the best possible condition, they could enable employees, customers, clients and visitors to escape the premises long before a major fire has the chance to take hold.
