Fire Door Safety Week: Protecting Lives, Property & Assets

At Evotech Fire & Security, keeping people safe is at the heart of everything we do. That’s why we are proud to support Fire Door Safety Week 2025, a national awareness campaign dedicated to highlighting the vital role fire doors play in saving lives and protecting property.

Why Fire Door Safety Matters

Fire doors are a critical part of a building’s passive fire protection strategy. When properly installed and maintained, they:

• Contain the spread of fire and smoke, protecting escape routes.
• Provide crucial extra minutes for safe evacuation.
• Limit damage to property, reducing recovery costs after a fire.

However, a fire door is only effective if it is compliant, correctly installed, and well maintained. A poorly fitted or damaged fire door can put lives at risk.

Common Fire Door Issues

As part of Fire Door Safety Week, we’re encouraging building owners, managers, and responsible persons to check their fire doors for common issues, such as:

• Gaps larger than 3-4mm around the edges
• Missing or faulty seals
• Damaged or non-compliant glazing
• Doors that don’t close properly on their own
• Incorrect or unsuitable hardware
