Myth 1: “Any door can be made into a fire door.” A fire door requires all items to meet the specifications stated on the fire door cert. Adding larger doorstops to standard doors or painting with fire retardant paint, for example, will not meet these regulations. Fire Door Safety Week

Day 2/Myth 2: “I can fit a fire door myself.” Fire doors need to be fitted correctly. It’s vital that people who are competent & skilled fit fire doors. However, unfortunately no official qualifications/accreditations are required by those installing doors. #FireDoorSafetyWeek

Day 3/Myth 3: “Having a gap between a fire door and its frame doesn’t matter.” The specific gap around a fire door is vital; it prevents toxic fumes and smoke in the event of a fire. Commonly, the gap should be 3mm, but check the fitting instructions. #FireDoorSafetyWeek

Day 4/Myth 4: “Fire doors still work if left open.” Fire doors resist smoke and flames for a period of time to slow down fire. Leaving them open renders them as useless as a standard door. Ensuring they stay shut as often as possible is important. #FireDoorSafetyWeek

Day 5/Myth 5: “It’s the tenant’s responsibility to be clued up on fire doors.” If you’re a building owner or landlord it is likely to be your responsibility to ensure the safety of all occupants in your building. Contact us today to find out how on 0345 459 3005.
