Fire Door Compliance Pack

Each hotel room fire door typically requires:

  • Intumescent strip set (3 sides of door frame) — 15x4mm for FD30, 20x4mm for FD60
  • Smoke seal (brush or blade type) — fitted to door frame head and sides
  • Door closer — overhead or concealed, BS EN 1154 size 3-4 for most hotel doors
  • 3x fire-rated hinges — CE-marked, 100x75mm for standard hotel doors
  • Signage — 'Fire Door Keep Shut' on room side

For FD30 doors (30-minute fire resistance), intumescent strips alone may be sufficient. For FD60 doors, combined intumescent and smoke seals are required.

Regulatory Requirements

Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: Hotels are classified as 'sleeping risk' premises with enhanced fire safety obligations. The responsible person must ensure all fire doors, compartmentation, and means of escape are maintained to the required standard.

Fire Risk Assessment: A fire risk assessment must be carried out by a competent person and reviewed regularly. The assessment identifies which doors, walls, and ceilings require fire-rated products.

Documentation: Keep records of all fire safety product installations including product certificates, installation dates, and installer details. These records are required for fire inspection and insurance purposes.

Ongoing maintenance: Fire doors and seals must be inspected quarterly. Replace any damaged intumescent strips, smoke seals, or door closers immediately.

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Complete Fire Risk Assessment

    Engage a competent fire risk assessor to survey your property and identify all fire doors, compartment walls, and service penetrations requiring fire-rated products.

  2. Identify Non-Compliant Elements

    From the fire risk assessment, list every door, wall, and penetration that needs fire safety products. Categorise by fire rating required (FD30 or FD60).

  3. Order Coordinated Fire Safety Packs

    Calculate quantities per fire rating. Order coordinated packs including intumescent strips, smoke seals, closers, and hinges. Include 10% spare stock.

  4. Schedule Professional Installation

    Fire safety products should be installed by competent contractors. Schedule installation by floor or fire zone. Maintain installation records for each door.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my hotel fire doors are compliant?
A competent fire risk assessor can inspect your fire doors. Key checks: correct intumescent strips fitted, smoke seals present, door closer working, hinges fire-rated, gaps within tolerance (max 3-4mm), and 'Fire Door Keep Shut' signage in place. Any missing element makes the door non-compliant.
What is the difference between FD30 and FD60?
FD30 doors provide 30 minutes of fire resistance and are standard for hotel room doors. FD60 doors provide 60 minutes and are used for high-risk areas such as kitchens, plant rooms, and corridors in larger buildings. The fire risk assessment determines which rating is required for each door.
How often should fire door seals be inspected?
Fire doors and their seals should be inspected quarterly as part of your fire safety management plan. Check intumescent strips for damage, smoke seals for wear, door closers for correct operation, and hinges for security. Replace any damaged components immediately.
Can I retrofit fire safety products to existing doors?
In many cases, yes. Intumescent strips and smoke seals can be retrofitted to existing fire door frames by routing grooves. However, this must be done by a competent installer to maintain the door's fire rating. Some older doors may need complete replacement if they cannot achieve the required standard.
