What Does a Fire Door Inspection Include?
Every fire door inspection carried out by Milsteel Doors follows a comprehensive inspection process to assess whether each fire door is capable of performing correctly in the event of a fire. Our certified fire door inspectors examine every critical component, identify any defects and provide clear recommendations for any remedial work required.
We inspect the condition of the fire door leaf, checking for damage, unauthorised alterations, excessive wear and any defects that could affect its fire resistance.
The frame is checked for damage, movement, correct installation and secure fixing to ensure it continues to support the fire door correctly.
Perimeter and threshold gaps are measured to verify they remain within acceptable tolerances for effective fire and smoke protection.
We ensure all intumescent strips are present, correctly fitted and free from damage or missing sections.
Smoke seals are inspected for wear, damage and correct installation to help restrict the spread of smoke.
Fire-rated hinges are checked for correct type, secure fixings, wear and signs of damage.
Self-closing devices are tested to ensure the door closes fully and latches correctly without assistance.
Locks, latches and other fire-rated ironmongery are inspected to confirm they operate correctly and remain suitable for the fire door.
Vision panels, glazing beads and glazing systems are checked for damage and compliance.
Mandatory fire door signage is inspected to ensure it is present, secure and correctly positioned.
The complete fire door assembly is tested to ensure it opens, closes and latches correctly without binding or obstruction.
Every inspection includes a detailed photographic report identifying defects, recommended remedial works and priorities for maintaining compliance.
Where defects are identified, Milsteel Doors provides practical recommendations together with professional fire door maintenance and remedial repairs to help restore compliance wherever possible.
At Milsteel Doors, we combine certified fire door inspection expertise with practical maintenance and repair experience. Rather than simply identifying defects, we help our customers understand the issues, prioritise remedial works and maintain compliant fire doors throughout their buildings.

FAQ
The frequency of fire door inspections depends on the type of building, its occupancy and the level of use.

Milsteel Doors can advise on an appropriate inspection schedule for your premises.
Our certified fire door inspections cover every critical component of the fire door assembly, including the door leaf, frame, gaps, intumescent strips, smoke seals, hinges, self-closing devices, locks, glazing, signage and overall operation. Following the inspection, you’ll receive a detailed report highlighting any defects together with recommendations for remedial work where required.
