Expert Fire Door Inspections for Warehouse Premises

The appropriate frequency depends on the building and the demands placed on individual doors. Areas experiencing heavy traffic, vehicle movements or a greater likelihood of impact may require more frequent attention.

We assess the door assembly, including the door leaf and frame, hinges, seals, latching arrangements, self-closing devices, gaps, glazing and other relevant components. The overall condition and operation are also considered.

Where they fall within the agreed scope, yes. Doors serving offices and other areas away from the main storage floor can still contribute to the building's fire separation and should be appropriately managed.

The defect is recorded within the inspection report together with a recommendation for appropriate remedial action. Depending on the severity and nature of the problem, repair, adjustment, component replacement or replacement of the door assembly may be appropriate.

A door that does not close correctly should be investigated. The cause could be related to the closer, hinges, alignment, seals or another component, and appropriate remedial work may be required.

A typical individual inspection takes around 10–15 minutes, although the duration can vary depending on the door's condition, complexity and accessibility. The total inspection time depends on the number of doors included.
