Fire Door Inspection

Fire doors are an important part of fire safety in the UK. They help to prevent the spread of fire and smoke, and can save lives. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRFSO) places a legal responsibility on the responsible person for a building to ensure that fire doors are in good working order.
The fire door inspection course is designed to support anyone responsible for checking fire doors as part of the Regulation 10 fire door checks. This course will give you the skills, Knowledge and confidence to carry out your quarterly and annual fire door checks in multi-occupied buildings over 11 m in height.

In a domestic flat fire what would fail first, the door or the hinges? In a fire situation in a flat, occupants run out!The door close automatically! The door is rated for 30 mins! Also, intumescent strips should expand making the door impossible to open ! Most communal fire doors open away from the fire so people can escape easier therefor the hinge is on the outside of the door! How could this melt before the hinge. I am saying this because we have just had a FRA on a purpose built block of 20 flats and the inspector condemned the 100mm steel hinges that were fitted when new. We have had 3 FRA's before and no one has picked this up! Is this the FRA company creating work for themselves? I am a building manager and a builder by trade and this hinge situation troubles me!

Do you need a drop seal on the bottom of the door ? Front doors have them for acoustic purposes but how should these be checked ?
