UK Fire Door Training has launched Fire Door Anatomy – a free interactive digital learning platform designed to help professionals across the built environment understand fire doors and their components in greater depth.

Available at anatomy.ukfiredoortraining.com, the resource combines interactive 3D models with approximately 19,000 words of technical learning content, an exploded fire door assembly, an educational fire test simulation and knowledge checks.

Users can explore ten common fire and escape door components, rotate and dismantle the assembly, examine the internal workings of a door closer and access technical information covering function, materials, specification, relevant standards, common defects and inspection considerations.

UK Fire Door Training believes Fire Door Anatomy is the first interactive 3D learning resource of its kind in the UK dedicated specifically to fire doors.

The platform also includes an educational fire test simulation which allows users to configure a specimen, introduce faults and explore their potential consequences. Scenarios include oversized gaps, unsuitable glazing and missing intumescent protection around a lock.

The simulation is intended as an educational tool rather than a predictor of real-world fire performance, helping users explore the relationship between individual details and the wider principles behind fire door performance.

The technical content was independently reviewed by two separate consultancies as part of the development process, with the reviews totalling 134 pages. Reviewer comments were considered and incorporated into the resource before launch, providing an additional layer of technical scrutiny.

Jonny Millard, managing director of UK Fire Door Training, said: “We wanted to build the fire door learning resource we felt the industry should already have.

“Fire doors are physical systems but much of the learning around them is still delivered through flat images, slides, diagrams and PDFs. Those formats still have an important place but they shouldn’t define the limit of what fire safety education can be.

“Fire Door Anatomy is designed to make technical information easier to explore without sacrificing depth. We’ve also made the whole resource free because we want useful fire door knowledge to travel as widely as possible.”
