Spaces
Use your phone's selfie video camera to check for accreditation labels PORTES PYRASFALEIAS ATHINA or plugs. These are normally found on the top of the door, or periodically to the side. If you can't find any labels, inspect the status of the doors with PYRANTOXES PORTES the producer.
Seals
An intumescent strip is made from product that carries out heat improperly and will swell on contact with heat. This supplies an exceptionally safe seal against smoke and flames which can't go through any fractures in the door. If no seal shows up or you can detect seals but they're harmed, take appropriate action to have them ensured.
Hinges
There should be at least 3 hinges, all securely screwed into place. If screws are missing or broken then the hinges may malfunction and stop the door from operating efficiently. A poorly kept fire door is also more likely to stop working in the event of fire.
