The Do's and Don'ts of Fire Door Maintenance
When it comes to fire safety, fire doors are one of the most important passive protection measures in any building. They are specifically designed to slow the spread of fire and smoke, buying precious time for safe evacuation and emergency response. But here’s the catch, even the best fire doors can only do their job if they are properly maintained.
In this guide, we’ll cover the essential do’s and don’ts of fire door maintenance, highlighting common mistakes, and explain how you can keep your building compliant and, more importantly, safe.

Why Fire Door Maintenance Matters
Neglecting fire door maintenance doesn’t just risk non-compliance with fire safety regulations – it risks lives. A damaged or non-compliant fire door can allow smoke and fire to spread rapidly, cutting off escape routes and making safe evacuation impossible.
That’s why it is essential to keep up with inspections, carry out basic checks, and use trained certified professionals to assist with fire door maintenance, inspections and repairs when required.
Insurance Costs
If a fire breaks out on a property, the owner or occupier could be held responsible for any resulting damage or injuries. Carrying out regular fire door inspections not only reduces the risk of fire spreading but also helps facility managers limit their potential liability. Many insurance providers also make routine fire door inspections a condition to cover, and failing to meet these requirements can lead to increased premiums or even invalidated policies.
