  1. FIVE COMMON FIRE DOOR FAULTS

  2. INTRODUCTION Fire doors are one of the most crucial components of the passive fire protection system. As per the laws, both the residential and commercial complexes should place fire door Ireland to ensure that the occupants get time to get out of the building within time. However, installing the fire door is not the end, as you need to monitor the fire doors to identify if there is any fault. The following slides pointed to a few faults of fire doors.

  3. SMOKE OR FIRE SEAL IS MISSING While checking the doors, check that the intumescent seals are fitted or not. The seals expand from the heat. Hence, in case of a fire, the seals can effectively block the gaps around the doors to prevent the fire from spreading from one place to another. A striking fact is that in 61% of fire door Ireland, these seals remain missing.

  4. INCORRECT OR UNCLEAR SIGNAGE How will you identify between a fire door and a normal door? It is the signage that makes the difference. Further, the labelling on the door proves that it is checked by a third-party professional. While carrying out the inspection, do a detailed check to find that the signage is marked clear or not. If not, then get the signage now.

  5. DAMAGED DOOR LEAVES While carrying out the inspection, don’t forget to check the damage to the doors. Remember that small damage on the door is enough to compromise the comprehensive safety of the fire doors. As a fire protection contractor mentioned, that 15% of the fire doors come with damage.

  6. UNSUITABLE OR POORLY FITTED HINGES A fire is a complete unit comprised of different sections. Hinges are one of them. Often people overlook the fitting of the hinges, but in the case of a fire door, you can’t take such risks. All the residential and commercial fire doors must have three hinges, at least. You must check the number of hinges while inspecting a fire door Ireland.

  7. EXCESSIVE GAPS AROUND THE DOORS NFPA regulations say that the gaps of the door panel from the frame should not exceed 3mm apart from the lower side. Hence, while checking, you must check these gaps too by placing a £1 coin. The thickness of the coin is around 3mm, so you can place it in the gap. If the gap is more, then you must go for repair. In 34% of the cases, the gap is more than recommended.
