Fire doors are an important part of any building’s fire safety system. They are designed to contain fires and limit the spread of smoke and toxic gases for as long as possible, providing a safe escape path for occupants.

How Do You Identify A Fire Door?

One of the easiest ways to identify a fire door is by checking the edge of the door by the hinge. Here you'll likely find a metal identification tag that states the type of fire door, the fire rating and how long it will prevent fire and smoke from passing through into the rest of the building.

What Are Fire Door Regulations?

Fire door regulations are a set of rules that must be followed when installing, maintaining and using fire doors. In the UK, fire door regulations are established by The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

Why Are Fire Door Regulations Changing?

After the Grenfell tragedy in 2017, the government recognised that there were gaps in fire safety regulations. As a result, they are introducing new and updated regulations to ensure that existing buildings have reached the current fire safety standards and have the correct fire door assembly.

What Are The Internal And External Fire Door Regulations?

Internal fire doors are meant to divide the building into separate compartments to stop fire spreading and smoke from travelling between rooms. However, external fire doors are not needed for fire protection.

What are the legal requirements for a fire door?

The Fire Safety Regulations 2022 has made it a legal requirement for multi-occupied residential buildings with storeys over 11 metres in height to carry out quarterly checks and annual checks of flat entrance doors.

What are the requirements for an FD30 fire door?

An FD30 fire door is one that is 30 minutes fire and smoke resistant. It is currently a requirement that the front doors to flats are FD30.

Can I fit a fire door myself?

You are not recommended to attempt to fit a fire door by yourself. They must be installed and checked by a fire safety professional to ensure they'll be effective in the event of a fire.

How do I maintain fire doors?

Fire doors should be checked regularly to ensure they are in good condition and damage-free. They must also be kept closed while not in use, and the seals around the door must remain intact.
