The training course would be of interest to anyone involved in the construction industry and of particular use to those involved with the ongoing upkeep of fire door systems in a building, including bit not limited to Contractors, Site Managers/Supervisors and Facility Management teams.
This module differs from the ‘standard’ Fire Rated Timber Doors module in that existing doors are examined, as opposed to new installations. Existing doors will suffer ongoing abuse so we may only be interested in damage repair or changing a lock. Please note that there is some overlap between this module and the ‘Fire Rated Timber Doors’ module.
The ‘Fire Door Maintenance and Repair’ module comprises the following:
Part 1
The first part of the ‘Fire Door Maintenance and Repair’ module is an introduction to fire rated door systems and the use of caveats. The module then looks briefly at the regulations, specifically the Building Regulations and Approved Document B, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order picking up on the specific items relating to fire doors. The following section looks briefly at the fire testing of fire door systems and smoke spread through a fire door.
Although the module looks at all pedestrian door types, the main part of the module concentrates on the maintenance and repair of timber doors, as these are the designs that tend to suffer more on-site. There is an initial quick look at the supporting construction, the frame installation and any resulting gaps – not usually part of a maintenance program but cannot be ignored.
The bulk of this part looks at the clues available to be able to identify the door as a fire door. Then basic situations are examined such as excessive leaf-to-frame gaps; trimming of door leaves; changing rebated meeting edges; failure to close and preventative maintenance.
Part 2
The second half of the module looks in detail at the building hardware, intumescent and smoke seals, glazing in doors including sidepanels and overpanels.
There is then a brief look at older doors that might be listed under English Heritage.
Part 3
The penultimate part provides a summary checklist of the items that should, as a minimum, be checked on a fire door.
Part 4
The final part looks briefly at the maintenance and repair of steel, aluminum, composite, etc. door systems.
Please note that there is some overlap between this module and the ‘Fire Rated Timber Doors’ module.
