Fire Doors
Fire door checks and remedial guidance for commercial, shared and managed premises.
Fire doors protect escape routes and slow the spread of smoke and fire, but daily use can quickly reduce their performance. AXERA helps responsible persons, landlords and facilities teams identify visible defects, prioritise remedial work and understand how fire doors fit into the wider fire strategy.

We turn defects into clear actions
AXERA identifies visible issues such as gaps, seals, closers, glazing, signage and damage, then explains which items need urgent attention and which can be planned.
We help protect escape routes
Fire doors are part of the evacuation strategy. We look at how doors are used day to day so repairs support safety without creating impractical routines for staff.
We support landlords and facilities teams
For managed buildings and multi-tenant premises, clear inspection notes help you evidence checks, brief contractors and avoid repeated uncertainty.
Small defects can create big gaps
Damaged seals, missing signage, poor alignment, excessive gaps, unsuitable glazing, damaged leaves, loose hinges or failed closers can all reduce a fire door’s effectiveness. We explain defects in practical terms so action can be agreed quickly.
Inspection frequency and responsibility
Government guidance for higher-risk residential buildings includes routine checking expectations, including communal fire doors at least every three months and flat entrance doors at least every twelve months where the rules apply. Commercial premises should still manage fire doors through the fire risk assessment and routine checks.
What AXERA would look for
We look at door leaf condition, frame damage, seals, hinges, closers, latches, glazing, signage, gaps, hold-open arrangements and whether doors are being wedged or misused. Findings are prioritised so urgent safety issues are separated from planned maintenance.
Joined-up fire compartmentation advice
Fire doors are only one part of the picture. We link observations with fire alarms, emergency lighting, escape routes, extinguishers and staff procedures so the building is easier to manage.
Useful standards and guidance
These references help duty holders understand the wider guidance behind the service. AXERA will always apply requirements to the specific premises, risk and use of the building.
