Elevator doors

[Linda]

I am new to health and safety and I'm currently assessing the fire doors in my place of employment, can anyone advise me what the doors on a goods lift should be checked for?

If you are checking fire doors the Fire Door Inspection Service maybe of some help and the Architectural and Specialists Door Manufacturers Association have excellent downloads on fire doors check out the Knowledge Centre. But lift doors are something I have not considered although they do have some FR but they are usually in a FR lobby consequently no problem, check out the following attachments which maybe some help.
