Fire Door Checklist
A fire door only works as a system. The door leaf, frame, hardware, seals and glazing are tested together as a single assembly. Changing one part for an unsuitable alternative can cause the whole assembly to fall short of it's rating, even if every individual component looks fine on its own.
This checklist is designed to help you spot the issues that most commonly affect fire door performance, using what you can reasonably check by eye. It's a starting point, not a substitute for the manufacturer's installation and test evidence for your specific door, and it can't confirm fire performance on its own. Where we're not sure, we'll say so, and point you towards the appropriate guidance.
