Leading fire door specialist PWIDF is urging people to check their fire doors and report safety concerns during Fire Door Safety Week 2025.
Newport-based PWIDF is calling on residents, landlords and building managers in Wales to ensure the safety and integrity of fire doors in their buildings. Fire doors are a critical first line of defence in the event of a fire, yet 57% of the UK public are unable to spot an issue with a fire door. This lack of awareness often leads to damaged, propped open, or poorly maintained fire doors, all of which pose serious risks to safety.
To help raise awareness, PWIDF is encouraging residents in Wales to check for the following common signs of fire door issues:
If any of these issues are noticed, it is critical to act immediately and contact the Responsible Person for the premises, such as a building manager or landlord. If that is not possible or an adequate response is not received, contact the appropriate fire and rescue service for that area.
For concerns about health and safety at work, which includes fire safety in the workplace, contact the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Paul White, Brand Director at PWIDF, said “A working fire door can mean the difference between life and death. We want people across Wales to feel confident in spotting the signs of a problem and reporting them immediately“.
