Professional Fire Door Inspection
Our Fire Door Inspection Service
Regular fire door inspections form an important part of an effective fire safety strategy and should be included within your overall fire safety management plan, in line with Irish fire safety guidance.
We inspect key components and safety features, including:
Door leaves, frames and glazing
• Hinges, closers and other ironmongery
• Intumescent strips and smoke seals
• Gaps around the door and threshold
• Automatic closing and latching
• Signs of damage, alteration or excessive wear
• Fire-door signage
• Hold-open and release devices
• Compatibility of the door and its components
• Doors within escape routes and compartment lines
Clear Reports and Practical Recommendations
Following the inspection, we provide a clear report detailing the condition of each fire door, any defects identified and the remedial work recommended. This gives you a practical record for planning repairs, prioritising urgent issues and supporting your fire-safety documentation.For larger or multi-site premises, we can help establish a consistent fire-door inspection and maintenance programme.
Why Fire Doors Matter
Fire doors form a vital part of a building’s passive fire-protection system. When correctly installed and maintained, they help contain fire and smoke, protect escape routes and provide occupants with valuable time to leave safely.Even a small defect—such as a damaged seal, excessive gap or faulty closer—can significantly affect a fire door’s performance.
