SafeCheck Maintenance
Through our experience gained in delivering over 2,300 completed projects for the most challenging mental health environments, we have developed an extensive expertise in fire door safety and ligature reduction best practices.
With the challenges presented in mental health facilities, it is vital that your products continue to perform to the high standards they are designed to meet. Our SafeCheck maintenance service is designed to provide you with ongoing confidence in the continuity of quality and end-to-end compliance of your Complete Door Systems, Vision Panels and Door Hardware.
Why maintenance is important
The Code of Practice for Fire Door Assemblies BS 8214:2008 recommends that door leaves and frames are checked at six monthly intervals for superficial damage, structural damage, and excessive bowing or deformation. There are then the additional ligature risks arising from damaged or defective hardware to consider, along with the operationality of critical components such as the anti-barricade devices or the door ligature monitor if one is present.
By having our SafeCheck maintenance service in place to address both fire safety and ligature risk in one combined inspection, you can demonstrate your duty of care and ensure that life safety risks are minimised and managed effectively.
What SafeCheck involves
With SafeCheck, an employee of Kingsway Group certificated to the BM Trada Q-Mark Maintenance Scheme will visit your facility bi-annually, undertaking an extensive 22-point inspection of your products to ensure optimal performance, compliance, and, where necessary, highlight any issues that need to be addressed.
A full written report will be provided on a door-by-door basis, detailing any required action and grading the doors into three categories:
- Pass (no action required)
- Minor non-conformance (some action required)
- Major non-conformance (urgent action required)
Once any required action is highlighted, we can carry out the necessary fixes to ensure your Complete Door Systems remain safe, compliant, and fully operational.
