As a long-term fire protection facility, daily maintenance and maintenance are the key to ensure that it functions normally in the event of a fire. Here are the core points of daily maintenance of fire doors.
Regularly check the structural integrity of the portal body. It is recommended to check the door body once a month for deformation, damage, corrosion, etc., stainless steel and steel doors need to focus on whether the surface coating is peeling off, and wooden doors need to be checked for moisture and cracking. If the door body is found to be damaged, it is necessary to contact the manufacturer in time to repair or replace it to avoid affecting the fire resistance. Pilot Door Industry provides five-year warranty services, and opens after-sales hotlines for cross-border projects to quickly respond to maintenance needs.
Maintain the performance of hardware accessories. Fireproof hinges, locks, door closers and other accessories need to be lubricated regularly, and it is recommended to apply special lubricating oil every quarter to ensure flexible opening and closing. At the same time, check whether the door closer is moderately strong, whether the fire lock can be locked normally, if there is a lag, failure, etc., the original accessories need to be replaced in time, and do not modify or use non-special accessories by yourself. For industrial scenarios with high frequency of use, it is necessary to increase the frequency of maintenance to avoid excessive wear and tear of accessories.
Keep the seal intact. The sealant strip is a key component to block the flue gas, and it needs to be checked regularly for aging, falling off, or damaged, and if problems are found, replace them in time. The sealant strip of stainless steel fire door should be made of high-temperature resistant material, and the sealant strip of wooden door should pay attention to moisture prevention to avoid mildew. Pilot Door Industry can provide sealant strip accessories suitable for fire doors of different materials to ensure easy maintenance.
Avoid illegal use and modification. In order to facilitate passage, some users remove the door closer and sequencer without permission, or use wooden sticks and ropes to fix the door body to keep it normally open, which will cause the door body to not be automatically closed in the event of a fire and lose its fire prevention effect. It is necessary to strengthen publicity and education, such illegal operations are strictly prohibited, and electromagnetic releasers can be installed in industrial scenarios, which usually keep the door open and automatically close in case of fire.
In addition, cross-border projects need to adjust maintenance plans according to the local climate, such as strengthening moisture-proof treatment in hot and humid areas in Southeast Asia, and regularly cleaning the surface of the door body. In the cold regions of Russia, it is necessary to check whether the door body is hardened due to low temperature, and it is difficult to open and close. Proper maintenance can extend the life of fire doors to more than 10 years while ensuring they always meet fire code requirements.
