1. To fulfil its purpose, a fire door must be securely closed at the time of the fire and therefore is normally fitted with a self-closing device. Some doors are kept locked when not in use e.g. access doors to ducts.
2. Fire doors must not be wedged open or held open other than the approved means.
3. Where a closed door would interfere with the normal function of the building, an automatic door release mechanism may be fitted.
4. Fire doors may also have:
• fire resisting glazing
• flexible edge seals to improve the smoke stopping performance
• intumescent strips which expand when heated to fill the gap between the door and frame.
5. Most fire doors have an appropriate fire safety sign according to whether the door
should be kept locked shut when not in use, be normally closed or held open by
an electro-magnetic or electro-mechanical device.
6 Fire doors are identified by a unique number on each one in order to verify checks
and arrange for repairs. (A discreet ‘white on blue’ numbering panel is recommended.)
