Fire Doors in Regina
Fire rated rolling doors and shutters, installed and maintained so they work on the day they are needed.
Doors that spend years doing nothing
A fire door is a rolling door with a rating and a release mechanism. In normal operation it works like any other door in the building, and it will do that for years without incident.
The one time it has to perform is the time nobody planned for. When a fire is detected the release lets the curtain close under its own weight, isolating one part of the building from another and buying time for people to get out and for the fire to be contained.
That is the whole point, and it creates the obvious problem. A component that never gets exercised is a component nobody thinks about, and neglect does not announce itself until the day it matters.
Testing is the real work
Most of what we do around fire doors is not installation. It is inspection and testing on doors that are already there.
That means checking the release mechanism, the fusible links or detection interface, the curtain and guides, and the governor that controls how fast the door descends. It means drop testing so that the door has actually been proven to close rather than assumed to. And it means resetting it properly afterwards.
Requirements around frequency come from your local authority and your insurer rather than from us, and they are worth confirming rather than guessing at.
After a release
If a fire door has dropped, resetting it is a specific job rather than a matter of winding it back up. It is also the right moment to find out why it released and whether anything was damaged on the way down, because a door that dropped unexpectedly is telling you something.
Records
We leave you knowing what was tested and when. On fire protection equipment that record is frequently as important as the work itself, because it is what demonstrates the building has been maintained.

Fire Doors Questions
How is a fire door different from a normal rolling door?
It is built to a fire rating and fitted with a release mechanism that closes it automatically when a fire is detected, isolating one part of a building from another. In normal use it looks and works like an ordinary rolling door, which is precisely why it gets neglected.
Do fire doors need testing?
Yes, and this is the part that gets missed. A fire door spends years never being asked to do its job, and the release and closing mechanism has to be inspected and tested so it actually works when it matters. Requirements come from your local authority and your insurer.
Our fire door dropped and now it will not reset. Can you help?
Yes. Resetting a fire door after a release is a specific job, and it is a good opportunity to check why it dropped and whether anything was damaged on the way down.
Do you work on fire doors installed by someone else?
Yes. Much of our fire door work is inspection, testing and repair on existing installations rather than new fitting.
