Repair the magnet, take the wedge away, and test the release on the next alarm test so it's on record. 🔧

Magnetic hold-open on the canteen corridor door stopped holding a few weeks back. 🧲

Nobody reported it. The door's heavy and the corridor's busy.

[Protest ES Ltd @ProtestESLtd]

A working hold-open is linked to the fire alarm. When the alarm sounds, it releases and the door closes and latches. 🔔

A wedge doesn't hear the alarm.

Closer arm unhooked from its bracket, and the fire door just stays wherever it was last pushed. 🚪

Solid wall from the corridor side. 🧱

Lift a ceiling tile and it stops right there, with open void up to the slab. Smoke goes straight over the top.

Any C1, C2 or FI on an EICR makes it unsatisfactory. The report isn't the end of it; the remedial certificates are. https://t.co/WDkfN8hyxC

Damaged fire door frame? Usually repairable: new timber spliced in, hinges re-fixed, seals renewed, gap behind the architrave sealed. Filler doesn't count.

The riser cupboard on the third floor got a smart new door in the refurb. 🚪

Painted to match, new handle, looks the part.

It's a plain cupboard door.

Quick check on yours 🔍

A label or plug on the top or hinge edge, intumescent strips round the edges, at least three hinges.

A light, hollow leaf with none of those usually isn't a fire door.

[Protest ES Ltd @ProtestESLtd]

Two screws gone from the top hinge, and the fire door's scraping the floor. 🚪

Refix it and the gaps often come back. Don't plane it.

Cable tray through the plant room wall, fire batt hacked back to fit one more cable. 🧱

Looks sealed from the floor. Up close, it's a gap into the next compartment.

Coat hooks screwed into fire doors rarely make it onto the register. 🔍

Nor do:
✅ painted seals
✅ a new kick plate
✅ a swapped closer

No law gives commercial fire doors an inspection date. Article 17 of the Fire Safety Order still wants them in good repair, and inspection is how you prove it. https://t.co/zPAoc5dFtp

It's Bonfire Night, so fire's on everyone's mind for an evening. 🌙

Good time to ask where your dampers are, and when each one was last reached.

Smooth new ceiling on level 3, and not one access hatch along the ductwork above it. 🔍

The ventilation went in last spring. Air's moving, everyone's happy.

[Protest ES Ltd @ProtestESLtd]

Dampers need a drop test to show they still close. 🔧

No hatch means nobody can reach it, so the test gets skipped and the record just says "no access".
