However, for fire doors to function correctly, they must be installed and maintained in line with current regulations. The ADIA’s Fire Door Course ensures that engineers are equipped with the skills needed to install and maintain fire doors in compliance with fire safety legislation. As fire safety regulations continue to tighten, it is essential that those working in the industry are up to date with the correct procedures. What Does the Fire Door Course Cover?
