Primary School

OD Fire Protection was brought in to carry out a thorough review and improvement programme for all fire doors within a lively primary school setting.

The school sought full assurance that its fire doors met current UK safety standards and offered reliable protection for children, staff, and visitors. Our work involved a complete inspection of every door on site, identification of any issues, and the delivery of both repairs and new certified fire-door installations where older units could not be restored.

Primary School

OD Fire Protection was appointed to inspect and upgrade all fire doors at a primary school.

The goal was to ensure full compliance with UK fire-safety regulations and provide reliable protection for pupils and staff. The project involved a full inspection of every fire door, followed by targeted repairs and replacements as required.

The Challenge

Primary School required an update to its fire-safety provisions after several fire doors were found to be worn, incorrectly closing, or lacking certification. As a busy UK primary school, the priority was to achieve full compliance with UK Fire Safety Regulations while keeping disruption to pupils and staff to a minimum.

Our Solution

Comprehensive Fire Door Survey
OD Fire Protection assessed all FD30 and FD60 fire doors, inspecting seals, ironmongery, frames, and self-closing mechanisms.
Certified Installations & Repairs
- Supplied and installed new, fully certified fire-rated doorsets where required.
- Carried out repairs to doors that remained structurally sound, including replacing seals, adjusting door closers, and ensuring correct alignment
School-Friendly Scheduling
Works were planned outside teaching hours — including evenings and weekends — to ensure safety and continuity of learning.
Documentation & Handover
The school received full fire-door certification, inspection reports, and maintenance guidance for ongoing compliance.

The Result

All fire doors now meet UK standards, including BS 8214 and the Fire Safety Order 2005.
Improved smoke and fire containment across corridors and key evacuation routes.
Reduced risk for pupils, staff, and visitors.
Clear documentation ready for audits and local authority checks.
