Fire Door Safety Week is a national campaign run by the British Woodworking Federation to raise awareness about the crucial role fire doors play in protecting lives and property. Fire doors are specifically designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke, but their effectiveness depends on proper installation, maintenance and regular inspection.
This Fire Door Safety Week, take action to inspect and maintain your fire doors to ensure they are fully functional. Even simple checks can make a significant difference in keeping your property safe.
To make it easier, we’re offering a free downloadable Fire Door Inspection Checklist. This template helps you systematically check your fire doors, including the door leaf, frame and hardware for defects or damage.
Fire doors are a key part of fire safety in any building. Properly maintained doors slow the spread of fire, giving occupants extra time to evacuate and reducing property damage. Neglecting fire door maintenance can put lives and assets at risk.
During Fire Door Safety Week, businesses, landlords and homeowners are encouraged to check fire doors for compliance with current safety standards.
The 5-step fire door check covers the key areas that ensure a fire door will perform effectively.
