Fire Door Repairs: At-A-Glance

How does fire door repair work?

Fire door repair involves the application of a set of industry-accepted repair techniques which reinstate the integrity of the fire door, enabling it to perform as originally intended in the event of a fire - protecting your building, its contents, and its people.

We’re able to fit a range of innovative and cost-effective products to protect and increase the life of your fire doors whilst reducing maintenance bills. All installed protection products are designed, tested and proven to retain full integrity even after prolonged abrasion and impact. Common areas where repairs take place are:

  • Leaf gaps
  • Threshold gaps
  • Light leaf/frame damage
  • Hinges
  • Fire Door Glazing
  • Door Hardware
  • Air Transfer Grilles
  • Door Closing Devices
  • Intumescent Strips
  • Signage

In instances where remidiation isn't possible, we're able to provide you with full support on new fire door installation.

LPCB/BM TRADA Accreditation

Checkmate are proudly LPCB accredited for your peace of mind. LPCB has been assessing and approving fire resisting systems and fire protection construction products for more than 100 years and has one of the best equipped laboratories in the world. Ensure you use accredited installers of fire resisting systems and fire protection products when it comes to fire door repairs.

Outside of accreditation, it is crucially important that fire doors are installed and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. These instructions can also specify the necessary fixings; any deviation at all from the system specification or method of build which must be confirmed in writing before the work is commenced. It is often too late when the product has been installed to try to unpick, and this can also lead to costly remediation work.
