Fire Door Inspections
Fire Door Inspections: What to Expect and Why They Matter
Fire doors are a critical line of defence in protecting lives and property during a fire. But just having fire doors isn’t enough, they must be the right type, well-maintained, and compliant with regulations. That’s where we come in.
At Ezra Safety Group, we offer independent, thorough fire door inspections to help ensure your building stays safe and legally compliant.
Why Are Fire Door Inspections Important?
Fire doors are specially designed to contain fire and smoke, helping to:
• Protect escape routes
• Slow down the spread of fire
• Buy valuable time for evacuation and emergency services
However, damaged or non-compliant fire doors won’t perform as intended and may put lives at risk.
Regular inspections are essential to ensure:
• The correct fire doors are installed
• Doors and frames are in good condition
• Seals, closers, hinges, gaps and signage meet standards
What the Law Says
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must ensure that fire safety equipment, including fire doors, is maintained and fit for purpose.
Since January 2023, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations have also made quarterly checks of communal fire doors and annual inspections of flat entrance doors a legal requirement in many residential buildings.
If you’re a landlord, building manager, or duty holder, it’s your responsibility to arrange regular, professional inspections.
