Introduction
Fire door hinges are an essential component of fire doors. They enable the door to swing open and shut while providing a secure and safe seal to prevent the spread of fire and smoke. This user manual provides instructions on how to install and maintain fire door hinges to ensure they function correctly in the event of a fire.
Installation
1. Before installing the hinges, ensure that the door and frame are correctly aligned and that the hinges are the correct size for the door.
2. Mark the position of the hinges on the door and frame, ensuring that they are vertically aligned.
3. Pre-drill the screw holes for the hinges to prevent splitting of the wood.
4. Attach the hinges to the door and frame using the screws provided.
5. Check that the door swings freely and that the hinges are securely fastened.
6. Install any additional hardware, such as door closers or locks, as required.
Maintenance
1. Regularly check the hinges for signs of wear or damage, such as cracks or loose screws.
2. Lubricate the hinges with a suitable lubricant, such as silicone spray or graphite powder, to ensure smooth operation.
3. Tighten any loose screws or replace any damaged hinges immediately.
4. Ensure that the door remains aligned with the frame and that there is no excessive gap between the door and frame, as this can compromise the seal and allow smoke and fire to spread.
5. If the door is damaged or has been subjected to excessive heat, replace the hinges to ensure that they are capable of withstanding the heat and pressure of a fire.
