Sandhurst Fire can carry out fire door surveys to your communal and apartment doors, working closely with our partner FireDNA. Using their software, our certified fire door inspectors carry out a comprehensive inspection including the following 24 steps:
2. Door Leaf: Look for any damage, warping, or modifications to the door leaf.
3. Frame: Ensure the door frame is securely fixed and undamaged.
4. Gaps: Measure the gaps around the door leaf and frame; they should be consistent and within acceptable limits (usually 2-4mm).
5. Intumescent Strips: Ensure intumescent strips are continuous and undamaged.
6. Smoke Seals: Verify that smoke seals are in place and undamaged.
7. Hinges: Ensure hinges are firmly fixed with no missing screws and are in good condition.
8. Door Closer: Verify the door closer operates correctly, ensuring it closes the door firmly and completely.
