Steel fire doors are a very important necessity for maintaining public safety. They play an important role in fire, smoke and gas prevention. Due to the characteristics of their material, steel fire doors are resistant to high temperature, pressure and flame. In the event of a fire, steel fire doors are able to slow down the spread of the fire and buy valuable time for people to evacuate. Therefore, it is crucial to understand how to properly maintain steel fire doors.
First, routine maintenance of steel fire doors is very important. It is important to keep the doors and windows clear to ensure that they are not blocked by any accumulation or obstruction of objects. There should not be any debris in the doorway that could prevent the door from closing. In addition, the surface of the door should be cleaned regularly to ensure that it has a clean and tidy appearance.
