Common Questions About Fire Door Inspection & Repair
How often do fire doors need to be inspected?
NFPA 80 requires fire door assemblies to be inspected annually. Some jurisdictions or insurance carriers may require more frequent inspections for certain occupancy types. We can help you determine the correct inspection interval for your building.
What happens if a fire door fails inspection?
We document each deficiency and work with you to prioritize repairs. Many common issues like hardware replacement, gap correction, and label restoration can be completed the same day. More significant repairs are scheduled promptly so you can return to compliance quickly.
Who is qualified to inspect fire doors?
NFPA 80 requires that fire door inspections be performed by individuals with knowledge of the applicable standards. Our inspectors are trained and experienced in NFPA 80 requirements and carry the credentials that Authorities Having Jurisdiction recognize.
What is a drop test and does my building need one?
A drop test verifies that a fire door with an automatic closing mechanism will fully close and latch under its own weight when the hold-open device releases. If your building has fire doors held open by fusible links or electromagnetic hold-open devices, those doors require annual drop testing.
Do you provide documentation for insurance and code compliance?
Yes, we provide detailed inspection reports and certification documentation after every inspection. These reports include the condition of each fire door assembly, any deficiencies found, repairs performed, and overall compliance status. This documentation satisfies requirements from most Authorities Having Jurisdiction and insurance carriers.
Can you inspect fire doors in occupied buildings without disrupting business?
Absolutely. Fire door inspections are non-invasive and our inspectors work efficiently to minimize disruption. We can schedule inspections during off-peak hours or coordinate with your building management team to avoid impacting tenants and daily operations.
