Maintenance

Fire door maintenance

Between the annual inspections, the doors still have to work. Maintenance is what keeps the certified assembly certified.

Fire Doors Brisbane connects building occupiers, body corporates and strata managers with QBCC-licensed fire protection contractors. We do not carry out inspections or remedial work ourselves.

Fire Doors Brisbane — firedoorsbrisbane.com.au — arranges these inspections with a QBCC-licensed contractor across Brisbane, Ipswich, Logan, Redlands and the Gold Coast.

What maintenance covers

Closers adjusted so the door latches from any position. Seals checked and replaced when they harden or come away. Hinges, latches and furniture kept to the tested configuration. Damage made good before it becomes a failure.

None of it is complicated. Almost all of it is neglected, because a fire door that will not shut properly still opens perfectly well and nobody notices.

The most common causes of failure

A wedge or a hook holding the door open. A gap at the head that has opened up as the building moved. A closer wound down because the door was too heavy for someone. Seals painted over. A sign, a lock or a cat flap fixed through the leaf.

Every one of those takes a certified assembly outside the configuration it was tested in.

The rest of it

Annual inspection

Every fire and smoke door, once a year, to AS 1851-2012.

Occupier's Statement

Form 74, who signs it, and the records it rests on.

Tagging

Each door identified and recorded, so the history survives.

Repairs

Gaps, closers, seals and hardware, back to the tested configuration.

Replacement

When a leaf is beyond repair, or was never compliant.

Installation

Rated sets installed and tagged in refurbishments and fitouts.

Smoke doors

Different job, different rating, same annual obligation.
