Fire-rated doors are essential to keeping your property safe from the danger of fire. To ensure they provide the highest level of protection, it is necessary to make sure they remain in good condition. Here are some tips on how to maintain your fire-rated doors:
1. Inspect your fire-rated doors at least once a year. Make sure all moving parts are functioning correctly and that the door is free of any damage or obstructions. Check for cracks or warping in the material, as well as leaks around seals or gaskets. If you notice anything out of place, call a professional repair technician immediately.
2. Clean your fire-rated doors regularly with a mild soap and water solution, especially during damp and humid conditions. Make sure to dry them thoroughly to prevent corrosion and staining.
3. Reapply sealants or caulk every few years to ensure a secure fit between the door, frame, and surrounding walls or openings. This will also help prevent drafts from entering your property.
4. Keep hardware such as hinges, locks, handles, and other components lubricated on a regular basis with a silicone-based lubricant to prevent rusting or seizing up of moving parts.
5. If you notice any damage or malfunction of your fire-rated doors, call a professional repair technician immediately for assessment and repair if necessary. This is especially important if the damage could impact the fire rating of your door!
