Fire Door & Curtain Inspections
Inspections for conveyor fire doors, fire curtains, smoke curtains and automatic fire barriers.
LDN Inspection Services provides thorough inspections of fire doors, fire curtains and smoke curtains under PUWER and fire safety regulations. Our inspectors examine deployment mechanisms, fabric condition, fire alarm integration and safety devices, delivering clear digital reports.
Fire Door & Curtain Inspections
Fire curtains, conveyor fire doors and smoke curtains are critical fire safety devices that must be maintained in reliable working order. Under PUWER and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, responsible persons must ensure these devices are regularly inspected, tested and maintained.
Fire curtains and doors must deploy reliably in the event of a fire. Mechanical failures, fabric damage, guide channel misalignment and faulty release mechanisms can all prevent correct deployment, compromising fire compartmentation and putting lives at risk.
Our inspections include drop testing, structural examination, release mechanism testing, fire alarm integration checks, and assessment of all mechanical and electrical components. We provide clear, detailed reports.
