Fire door maintenance should be part of an ongoing plan
Fire doors are used every day and can deteriorate through normal operation, accidental damage, wear and changes to the surrounding building. Maintaining them is an ongoing responsibility rather than a one-off exercise.
MYLU Fire can support inspection follow-up, defect tracking, remedial work planning and maintenance records for fire door assets.
What maintenance can involve
The appropriate maintenance depends on the door assembly, condition, use and applicable requirements. Typical work may include addressing defects identified during inspections and ensuring components continue to operate as intended.
- Reviewing inspection findings
- Tracking outstanding defects
- Planned remedial works
- Checking closing action and hardware
- Maintaining seals and compatible components
- Recording completed maintenance
A practical maintenance cycle
The exact frequency and scope should reflect the building, use, risk and applicable requirements. Government guidance for relevant multi-occupied residential buildings over 11 metres sets specific routine checking frequencies, while the wider Fire Safety Order duties apply more broadly.
Keep your fire door records up to date
Good records make it easier to demonstrate what has been checked, what defects were found, what work has been completed and what remains outstanding. MYLU Fire can help bring inspection and remedial information into a clear maintenance record.
Connected maintenance records
MYLU Platform is being developed to connect inspection history, maintenance actions and supporting records to the relevant property.
