In residential care homes, the responsibility for fire safety is even more critical. Elderly or mobility-impaired residents often need more time and assistance to evacuate during an emergency. Fire doors serve as a first line of defence, containing fire and smoke, and buying time for safe evacuation.
Unfortunately, many care homes still operate with outdated, incorrectly installed, or uncertified fire doors—putting residents, staff, and reputations at risk.
Fire doors in care homes must do more than comply with regulations—they must function flawlessly in real emergencies. Their proper installation and maintenance could mean the difference between life and death.
Every second counts during a fire. A properly fitted fire door can give residents and staff the time they need to escape safely.
Fire doors are legally required in:
Bedrooms and resident areas
Communal lounges and kitchens
Escape routes and corridors
Staff rooms and storage areas
Care homes fall under strict fire safety regulations, including the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and CQC (Care Quality Commission) inspections. Regular fire door inspections and certified installations are part of maintaining compliance and ensuring a safe environment for vulnerable individuals.
