Virtual FM, a facilities management company based in the UK, recently collaborated with MNA Group to execute a large-scale refurbishment project for 92 fire doors at their premises in Warrington.
The project was initiated to assess the compliance of the 92 timber-resistant doors and their components within the facility.
The survey found that a significant number of the inspected doors were found with gaps exceeding 5mm in various locations between the leaf and frames as well as several doors exceeding the maximum permitted threshold gap of 10mm. Evidence showed that the smoke seals on the doors were failing due to age and the hardware including hinges and mortice locks required to be upgraded to show CE markings.
Our team worked diligently on-site for a period of 12 weeks, upgrading all established fire doors to full compliance. We rehung the doors, installed new fire seals, and upgraded the hardware, including hinges, locks, and handles to BS EN 12209 and BS EN 1935 standards. Additionally, we updated all door signage on both the glazing and doors.
In addition to meeting compliance requirements, we have ensured that the doors at the premises have full functionality and are fit for purpose in the event of a fire.
We have been working with MNA for a few years and their support is excellent. Knowledgeable, friendly, approachable, and a complete pleasure to work with.
