Fire Door Inspection FAQs

How Often Should Fire Doors Be Inspected?

A common question we’re asked is how often fire doors should be inspected.

As general guidance:

High-use or high-risk buildings: every 3–6 months
Low-use areas: at least every 12 months
Residential blocks: communal fire doors should be checked regularly

An annual fire door inspection is the minimum recommended in many settings, but usage, occupancy and risk level may require more frequent checks. We can advise on the correct fire door inspection frequency for your building.

What Does a Fire Door Inspection Include?

Our inspections follow industry standards and include a full visual and functional check of fire doors covering:

Door leaf condition and fire rating markings
Door frame integrity and fixings
Gaps and clearances (top, sides and threshold)
Hinges, closers and self-closing function

Evidence of damage, alterations or wear

A structured fire door inspection checklist is used on every visit to ensure nothing is missed.
