FIRE DOOR INSPECTION SERVICES   

What is a fire door inspection survey?

Fire resisting door sets are a vital passive fire protection measure and will be found in almost all buildings, providing protection to escape routes and areas of high fire risk for example. They are often subject to damage due to misuse or general wear and tear and should undergo regular inspection to ensure they continue to function properly. Fire door inspections allow for remedial work to be identified and subsequently implemented to ensure the spread of fire can be minimised and provide building occupants with additional time to escape. A fire door inspection scheme should include in-house visual inspections and, where necessary, full surveys by a competent contractor.

The objective of fire resisting door sets is to assist in preventing the spread of smoke and flames in the event of a building fire. Fire resisting compartmentation is used alongside door sets to subdivide the building. In most buildings, this fire protection is a legal obligation under both Building Regulations and to meet the requirements of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales (and similar legislation in Scotland and Northern Ireland). It can protect escape routes, high-risk or high-value areas, and prevent extensive losses.  

The Responsible Person should ensure that a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment has been undertaken and this will typically involve a review of the condition of existing fire door sets.

Fire rated door installation is a vital element of passive fire protection in every building.
Fire doors perform a vital fire-stopping role within a building's fire protection compartmentation function and a significant visual aesthetic role in any building.
 

Fire doors are designed to slow the progress of a fire and its components – flame, smoke and toxic gases, by halting it's spread from compartment to compartment within the building. They play an essential role in safeguarding escape routes out of the building and ensuring that safe evacuation of the building is more likely to be achieved.

Linton’s provide fire doors in a variety of timber, metal and composite materials. They can range from simple, single-leaf pedestrian doors, used extensively in residential accommodation, through to large, power operated steel doors used to protect industrial buildings. A fire door is not just a "door leaf", but the door frame, hinges, handles, glasses panels, ironmongery and seals must all work in combination to ensure the fire door provides optimum and appropriate fire resistance. It is essential therefore that fire doors are fitted by fully trained and qualified installers
