& TRACEABILITY
Installation
All of our fire doors are provided with
comprehensive installation instructions,
which must be followed.
It is recommended that installers of Hurst
fire doors are competent and specifically
trained to install fire doors as they must
understand their responsibilities in
ensuring the installation is correct. It is
imperative that all Hurst fire doorsets
are installed strictly in accordance with
the certification and detailed installation
instructions provided.
Failure to adequately install the doorset in
accordance with the Installation instructions,
or any attempt to alter the product, could
not only compromise the integrity of the
product but also put lives at risk. It will result
in a failure to meet the certification and will
invalidate the warranty.
Further information on acquiring third
party certification for fire door installation
can be found on BM Trada’s website.

Under The Fire Safety (England)
Regulations 2022, it is mandatory
for responsible persons to conduct
quarterly inspections of all fire
doors, including self-closing devices,
within the common areas of
multi-occupied residential buildings
exceeding 11 metres in height. Flat
entrance doors that lead into a
buildings communal area should be
checked annually. This is to ensure
the fire door will continue to perform
properly in controlling fires by
preventing the spread of heat and
smoke. In buildings where fire doors
are being used continuously, more
frequent checks are recommended.
The regulations also mandate
responsible persons to provide
information to residents, of multioccupied residential buildings with
two or more sets of domestic premises,
about the crucial role that fire doors
play in maintaining the safety of a
building in the event of a fire.
