Fire Door Safety Week 2025
22 - 26 September
About Fire Door Safety Week
Launched in 2013 in response to a legacy of fire door neglect, Fire Door Safety Week is a ‘mass market’ awareness campaign to increase public understanding of the vital role that fire doors play in protecting life and property.
The campaign is managed by the British Woodworking Federation and is supported by a number of partners, including the Home Office’s National Fire Safety campaign, the National Fire Chief’s Council and London Fire Brigade.
At ABLOY UK, we fully support the campaign to educate people about the importance of having the correct fire doors to suit the requirements of every building.
Campaign Objectives
- To raise awareness of the critical role of fire doors, drawing attention to specific issues such as poor installation and maintenance.
- To encourage building owners and users to check the operation and condition of their fire doors and to report those that aren’t satisfactory.
- To link together the initiatives of many organisations with common interests in the fire door and passive fire protection industries.
- To engage and educate people, helping the whole building industry and every property owner to understand the correct specification, supply, installation, operation, inspection and maintenance.

ABLOY Foundations Course
A full-day course for installers, security managers, lock centres, end users and specifiers which covers the majority of standards applicable to door sets from hinges to door selectors in simple to understand chunks. Learn the needs of a door from its location within the building and the use that the door is subject to.
Recognise “Fire Doors”, particularly now that the Constructions Product Regulations dictate the use of Fire Tested hardware. Understand the escape risks and regulations applicable to public buildings, i.e. non-residential. These standards and their use are explained in detail, ensuring that we only specify compliant solutions.
