How do you check fire doors?
Routine checks are conducted with a simple visual inspection. If fire doors do not open and close correctly, or there is a whistling sound, this can indicate that the gasket is damaged or the door may be bowed/deformed and will not function correctly in a fire. Rust will also deteriorate fire door properties over time and should be quickly corrected to avoid damage worsening. Signs should also be checked - it is important that signs are visible and clear to ensure correct use of the fire door.
