In order for fire doors to be fully functional and effective, they must not only be built correctly but also fitted correctly. If a fire door is not properly fitted, even the smallest crack or gap between the door and the seals, frame, or glasswork, can result in flames or smoke escaping, which will not only entirely compromise the fire door's effectiveness, but also endanger people’s lives.
Jonny Millard, the general manager of AJM Fire Safety in Wolverhampton, UK, stressed the importance of this by saying; “With fire door fitting, there are no cutting corners, and only competent, skilled, and knowledgeable people must install fire doors. When installing a fire door, the door manufacturer usually provides detailed installation instructions, which should be followed to the T. However, if assistance is required, you should opt for an authorised fire door installer, like AJM Fire Safety.

We are experts in passive fire protection, and everything related to fire doors. We install fire doors, do fire door inspections, and perform repair work. Our FDIS (Fire Door Inspection Scheme) trained inspector performs our fire door inspections and we carry the required fire door installations and maintenance BM-Trada Q-Mark accreditation.”

Jonny further stated that fire doors are an important component of most building fire strategies and are part of a building's passive fire protection system. Fire doors must not only be correctly installed, but they must also be assessed, tested, and certified by an accredited third party, and if they do not meet the requisite standards, they must be brought up to code.

AJM Fire Safety is an industry leader in fire door installations, inspections, and maintenance, but they also provide fire door training throughout the country. They offer professional advice and information on fire doors and may help you decide what steps to take to ensure compliance with UK fire door legislation.

On the question as to what could happen to those who fail to comply with UK legislation on fire doors, Jonny warned that they might face hefty fines, or even imprisonment, which can be easily avoided with the help of AJM Fire Safety.
