  3. 5 SIGNS IT'S TIME TO REPLACE YOUR FIRE RATED DOOR Fire safety is a critical aspect of any building's design, and your fire rated door plays a crucial role in ensuring the containment of fire and smoke during emergencies. However, like any other component, fire rated doors can wear out over time, compromising their effectiveness. Here are five clear signs that it’s time to consider replacing your fire rated door.

  4. VISIBLE DAMAGE OR DEFORMATION Cracks, dents, or noticeable warping are clear indicators that your fire rated door may no longer be effective. Physical damage not only weakens the structure but also makes it less capable of withstanding heat or blocking smoke, putting occupants at greater risk during a fire.

  5. FAILURE TO PASS FIRE INSPECTIONS If your door fails a routine fire safety inspection, it’s a major red flag. Outdated materials, structural issues, or wear can render the door non-compliant with fire safety regulations. Upgrading to a new fire rated door is essential to meet safety codes and ensure maximum protection.

  6. DIFFICULTY IN OPERATION A fire rated door should open, close, and latch seamlessly. If you notice that the door is sticking, failing to close properly, or the latch mechanism isn’t functioning, it’s time for a replacement. Such issues can delay evacuation or fail to contain fire when needed.

  7. OUTDATED FIRE RATING STANDARDS Fire safety standards evolve over time. Older fire rated doors may not meet current regulations or fire resistance benchmarks. Upgrading to a modern fire rated door ensures that you’re compliant with today’s stringent safety measures and better prepared for emergencies.

  8. WORN OR MISSING SEALS Intumescent seals and gaskets around the door frame are vital for preventing the spread of smoke and fire. If these seals are damaged, cracked, or missing entirely, the door’s effectiveness is significantly reduced. Regular inspections can reveal these issues early, but if the seals are beyond repair, replacing the entire door might be necessary.

  9. CONCLUSION Ensuring the functionality of your fire rated door is not just about compliance; it’s about safeguarding lives and property. If any of these signs sound familiar, don’t delay in replacing your door. Regular inspections and timely upgrades are crucial to maintaining a secure and fire-resistant environment.
