At Door Controls Direct, our very reason for being in business is to help ensure the safety of people in built environments. To the point where it's written into our mission statement: 

"To make buildings safer and more secure by providing our customers with the right knowledge, guidance, and products to mitigate the risks involved." 

We take this mission seriously, and in light of recent developments, we're excited to introduce a campaign aimed at making buildings even safer by addressing a critical aspect of fire safety - fire doors.

In recent years, new regulations have been introduced to enhance fire safety measures across various industries. These regulations have been designed to minimize the risks associated with fires and to protect the lives and property of those who occupy or work in buildings. Central to these regulations are the standards set for fire doors, which play a pivotal role in preventing the spread of fire, smoke, and toxic fumes.

However, a recent study conducted by the Fire Door Inspection Scheme (FDIS) has uncovered a concerning statistic - approximately 75% of fire doors fail to meet the required safety standards. This alarming revelation underscores the importance of ensuring that your fire doors are in compliance with the regulations. Neglecting this crucial element of fire safety can have devastating consequences.

We, at Door Controls Direct, are committed to doing our part to mitigate these risks and help you keep your buildings safe. That's why we are launching a special campaign to provide you with a valuable tool to ensure your fire doors meet the necessary standards - a free fire door gap tester.

A fire door gap tester is a useful device for evaluating the effectiveness of your fire doors. It helps identify gaps or openings around the door, which can be a weak point for the spread of fire and smoke. By using this tool, you can accurately assess the condition of your fire doors and take the necessary steps to address any deficiencies, thereby enhancing the overall fire safety of your building.

Watch our video below which highlights how to check your fire door for gaps using our gap testers.
