Supporting Your Fire Door Compliance
In NSW, fire doors must be routinely inspected and maintained in accordance with AS 1851. Where defects are identified, timely rectification helps support compliance and assists with the Annual Fire Safety Statement (AFSS) process.
We inspect, tag, maintain and repair fire doors, providing detailed reports and photographic records for building owners and fire safety practitioners.
What our inspections cover
- Door leaf & frame condition
- Clearances and gaps to standard

Inspection to rectification — one team
The advantage of using a fire door specialist is that we don't just hand you a list of defects — we fix them. Failed doors can be adjusted, re-sealed, re-hardware-fitted or replaced on the spot or scheduled in, so defects are rectified quickly and your building is ready for inspection and verification by the building owner's nominated fire safety practitioner.

Frequently asked questions
What does a fire door inspection check?
We check the whole door set: the leaf and frame condition, clearances and gaps to standard, seals and intumescent strips, self-closing and latching, hinges, hardware and signage, plus tagging and inspection records.
How often should fire doors be inspected?
Under AS 1851, fire doors are inspected and maintained at least annually, tied to your Annual Fire Safety Statement, with some high-traffic doors checked more frequently.
Do you fix the faults you find?
Yes — we don't just hand you a defect list. We carry out fire door repairs and, where a door can't be rectified, replacement, so you have one local team from inspection through to a compliant result.
Do you certify our building or issue the AFSS?
No. We carry out compliant inspection and testing and provide detailed documentation to support the AFSS process. Statutory assessment and sign-off is carried out by an Accredited Practitioner (Fire Safety).
