Fire doors must be maintained — under DIN 31051 and DIN 14677 at least annually, by a specialist contractor, with complete documentation. This duty falls on the operator personally. A service contract with us fulfils this duty — with predictable cost and zero scheduling effort on your side.
The maintenance obligation for fire doors comes from several sources that, together, paint a clear picture: regular maintenance by a specialist contractor, documented in the inspection log, personal responsibility of the operator. DIN 31051 sets the principles of maintenance, DIN 14677 the qualified inspection of fire- and smoke-resisting closures. State building codes — in NRW the BauO NRW — define operator duties; the Workplace Safety Ordinance complements them for workplaces. Manufacturer specifications are the final, binding source: only their compliance preserves the approval of every individual door.
The standard interval is annual. In high-frequency areas or after interventions, shorter intervals may be required.
Mandatory interval for every fire door — even doors that are rarely operated. Required to keep the approval valid.
Hospitals, schools, retail and logistics — anywhere a door is operated hundreds of times daily.
Following collisions, repairs or structural changes around the door — separate assessment.
Between scheduled visits, the operator must perform visual checks if anything looks unusual.
Fixed cost per door per year, automatic scheduling, priority for repairs — a service contract beats one-off orders on every metric.
Annual maintenance with protocol, defect report and entry in the inspection log.
Basic + half-yearly visual check + 10 % discount on spare parts + scheduling service.
Plus + 24/7 emergency service + repair allowance up to a defined number of hours + priority scheduling.
Systematic processing — every door the same, every position documented.
Does the door close on its own and completely? Closing speed correct?
Fire and smoke seals checked for completeness, wear and gap dimensions.
Handle, strike plate, hinges, locking, unlocking — function and fixing.
Solid connection to the structure, no loosening, no cracks in the plaster or mortar.
Where present: integrity, sealing, manufacturer stamp and approval label.
Approval label legible, escape-route signage visible, door leaf undamaged and not warped.
Core of the maintenance — per door, per year, with individual identification in the inspection log.
Drive, control, safety devices, seals — in the same visit as the doors.
