What is a Fire Door Survey?

A fire door survey is a careful check of all the fire doors in a building. Fire doors are special doors that help stop the fire from spreading. They are very important for keeping people safe.

A fire door survey makes sure that all the fire doors are working as they should. It checks if they are damaged if they fit properly, and if they have all the right parts.

Why are Fire Door Surveys Important?

Fire door surveys are important for keeping people safe. If a fire starts, fire doors can help stop it from spreading quickly. This gives people more time to escape.

If fire doors don’t work properly, it can be very dangerous. That’s why it’s so important to have regular fire door surveys.

What Happens in a Fire Door Survey?

Fire safety experts, like those at MAF Associates, conduct fire door surveys. They look at:

• The door itself: Is it damaged? Does it fit properly?
• The frame: Is it damaged? Does the door close properly against it?
• The seals: Are the seals around the door in good condition?
• The hinges: Are the hinges strong and working properly?
• The door closers: Does the door close automatically when it’s opened?
• Other parts: Are there any other parts on the door that might stop it from working properly?

How Often Should I Have a Fire Door Survey?

How often you need a fire door survey depends on the building. Some buildings need surveys more often than others. Here at MAF Associates, we can help you determine the appropriate frequency for your specific building.
