Fire door inspection specialists

Fire doors not only safeguard lives but also property. By preventing the uncontrolled spread of fire, they minimise damage to the building’s structure and contents. This can translate to significant cost savings for building owners and insurers.

In the event of a fire-related accident, having a documented history of regular fire door inspections can protect building owners and managers from liability claims. It demonstrates a commitment to safety and due diligence in maintaining fire safety systems.

DEM Fire has specialist expertise in fire door inspections, working closely with a broad spectrum of commercial, industrial, residential and public buildings including schools and other educational institutions, manufacturing, apartment and strata dwellings, accommodation and hospitality sites and sporting venues.

Fire door inspections should only be performed by trained and certified professionals. These inspectors understand the intricacies of fire door systems, including the hardware, frames and seals. They can identify and address issues effectively.

Thorough documentation is essential. DEM Fire inspectors maintain detailed records of each inspection, including each door’s location, inspection date, findings and any required corrective actions. This documentation not only ensures compliance but also helps in tracking the history of each door’s maintenance.

Our inspectors will conduct various tests to ensure the fire doors are in working order. This includes checking the operation of the door, confirming that it closes and latches properly, inspecting the gaskets and seals for integrity and verifying that the signage and labelling are accurate. In addition to the door itself, inspectors assess the condition of the hardware, such as hinges, locks, panic hardware and closer mechanisms.

DEM Fire inspectors examine each door’s seals and gaps to ensure they are intact and will effectively restrict the passage of smoke and flames. They also check that any modifications or repairs to fire doors are carried out by certified professionals and documented accordingly.

Through our network of experienced and professional fire door inspection specialists, we have the capability and capacity to work with each client to forge workable scheduling solutions that ensure compliance with the building codes, minimal disruption and thorough documentation and reporting.
