Fire Doors – Supply, Installation & Maintenance
Fire doors play a vital role in slowing the spread of fire and smoke, giving occupants critical time to evacuate safely and helping to protect the structural integrity of a building. Properly installed and maintained fire doors are essential for both life safety and compliance. At FCF Fire & Electrical, we supply, install, inspect, and maintain fire-rated doors across Brisbane, ensuring they perform as required and meet all relevant safety standards.
Compliance You Can Trust
Fire doors are required to comply with AS 1905.1. Fire-Resistant Doorsets, which sets strict standards for their construction, installation, and performance. Correct installation is essential, as even small issues, such as damaged seals, incorrect clearances, or faulty hardware, can significantly reduce a fire door’s effectiveness. Our qualified technicians ensure all fire doors are properly installed, fully compliant, and regularly maintained to perform as intended and provide reliable protection in an emergency.

FAQs
What does a fire door actually do in an emergency?
A fire door is designed to slow the spread of fire and smoke by sealing off compartments within a building. In an emergency, it helps protect escape routes such as stairwells and corridors, giving occupants valuable extra time to evacuate safely and allowing emergency services to respond more effectively.
How often should fire doors be checked for compliance?
Fire doors should be inspected at least annually as part of a building’s fire safety maintenance program. In many commercial and multi-occupancy buildings, regular inspections are required to support compliance documentation and ongoing fire safety obligations.
What makes a fire door different from a standard door?
Unlike a standard door, a fire door is specifically constructed and tested to withstand fire for a set period of time. It includes fire-rated materials, intumescent seals, self-closing mechanisms, and compliant hardware designed to prevent the passage of flames and smoke during a fire.
What are the most common fire door failures?
Common issues include damaged or missing seals, doors that don’t close properly, incorrect gaps around the door, non-compliant hardware, or unauthorised modifications. Even small defects can significantly reduce a fire door’s effectiveness in an emergency.
Can anyone install a fire door?
No. Fire doors must be installed by qualified and experienced technicians to ensure they meet Australian Standard AS1905.1. Incorrect installation can compromise the door’s fire-rating and may result in non-compliance, putting occupants and property at risk.
