Well designed fire doors will delay the spread of fire and smoke without causing hindrance to the movement of people and goods. Different parts of a building may be separated from each other, into compartments of a fire-resisting construction. Any openings leading from them will have fire doors to maintain an effective fire barrier and should prevent excessive transmission of products of combustion which can interfere with the safe use of escape routes.

Every fire door is required to act as a barrier to the passage of smoke and fire to varying degrees dependent upon its location in a building and the fire hazard associated with the building. The functions of fire doors is to provide adequate resistance to the passage of smoke and other combustion products during the early stages of a fire and secondly to provide a barrier to a well-developed fire without permitting fire and excessive quantities of smoke to pass.

Fire doors are engineered to provide life and property saving functions in the event fires so it is important to have the fire door inspected and maintained regularly.

It is important that fire doors are regularly inspected and maintained so they perform at their best on the one and only occasion when they are called upon so to do. Fire door sets fitted with hold open devices or swing free type door closers should be closed daily, particularly overnight when there is likely to be low building occupancy. For busy 24/7 buildings (e.g. hospitals) fire doors should be closed at least weekly. All fire doors should close effectively from any angle of opening using only the door closer.
