In general, most buildings should have their fire doors inspected at least once a year. However, if your doors are in regular use (for example, in a busy office building or hospital), you may need to inspect them more frequently.

It's also worth noting that some areas have specific regulations for fire door inspections. Fire doors must be inspected every 6 months in commercial buildings, every 12 months in buildings over 11 meters, and every 3 months in public areas.

Check the fire seal between the door and the door frame, if found damaged should be replaced in time to ensure the fire isolation effect;

Regularly clean the fire insulation material inside the door to maintain its good heat insulation performance.

These maintenance work is essential to extend the service life of steel fire doors and ensure their safety performance.

Finally, the best way to decide how often to inspect your fire doors is to consult a professional. They can assess your building and offer advice based on your specific needs.

Remember, regular fire door inspections are an important part of keeping your building safe. So don't neglect this important aspect of fire safety!
