The Importance of Servicing and Maintaining Fire Doors

18 February 2025

Fire doors are a vital part of the safety system in any commercial or industrial building. Designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke, they play a crucial role in protecting lives, assets, and property. However, like any other safety feature, fire doors require regular servicing and maintenance to ensure they continue to function as intended.


At Thoroughbred Industrial Doors, we understand the significance of fire doors in maintaining a safe working environment. As a trusted industrial door company serving Mildenhall and Royston, we offer expert servicing and maintenance for all your commercial doors, including fire-rated systems.



Ensuring Fire Door Integrity


One of the primary reasons to maintain fire doors is to ensure their integrity. Over time, wear and tear can affect the performance of fire doors. Hinges can become loose, seals may deteriorate, and gaps can form, all of which reduce the door’s ability to resist the spread of fire. Servicing your fire doors regularly ensures they meet safety standards and perform effectively when needed.


Compliance with Fire Safety Regulations


Maintaining fire doors is not just about safety; it’s also about compliance. In the UK, fire doors must meet specific regulations outlined by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Regular servicing helps ensure your doors remain compliant with these legal requirements, preventing potential fines or penalties. We can provide the necessary documentation and inspections to ensure that your fire doors are up to code and compliant with the latest fire safety standards.


Reducing the Risk of Fire Damage


In the unfortunate event of a fire, fire doors can significantly reduce the damage to your property by containing the fire and smoke to the area of origin. However, if a fire door is not functioning properly due to a lack of maintenance, it may fail to perform its intended purpose, leading to faster fire spread and increased damage. Routine inspections and servicing help identify any issues early, ensuring that your fire doors will function when it matters most.


Prolonging the Life of Your Fire Doors


Like any other piece of equipment, fire doors benefit from proper maintenance. Regular servicing can extend their lifespan, saving you money on costly repairs or replacements. At Thoroughbred Industrial Doors, we offer tailored maintenance plans that suit your specific needs, helping you keep your fire doors in top condition for years to come.
