Fire door inspections are an integral part of your building’s overall fire protection system. A properly operating fire-rated door, just like a properly operating fire damper, is a key component to the compartmentalization of a building to stop the spread of deadly fire, smoke and toxic fumes. If the fire door assembly isn’t working properly, your facility is at risk. Fire door inspections will ensure your fire doors are safe and in working order during the event of a fire.

Fire Door Inspections

Annual fire door inspections were introduced with the adoption of the 2007 Edition of NFPA 80. The newest standard requires that fire-rated doors be tested for functionality no less than annually and that a written record of the inspection be kept on file for the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). LSS’ fire door inspection protocol is one of the industry’s most detailed. Not only does our certified fire door inspection team ensure that your fire doors are code compliant and are working properly but they also provide you with proof for you AHJ with the best report in the business. Our web-based report includes the following:

• Detailed Inventory of all the facility’s fire doors (including but not limited to):
  • Door location, number, rating, door handing, reasons for non-compliance.
  • Digital Documentation of non-compliant issues to provide AHJs and the facility’s insurance providers.
  • Fire door labeling available in the event that a fire door is missing a label or painted over

Holderson technicians hold fire door inspection certifications from industry-best organizations such as the Door and Hardware Institute and the International Fire Door Inspector Association. To learn more about are fire door inspection credentials, contact us today

Our Inspections

The first step in maintaining your Fire Door Assemblies is to perform a visual inspection and functional test of each Fire Door Assembly.

NFPA 80 requires the inspections to “be performed by individuals with knowledge and understanding of the operating components of the type of door being subject to testing”. AEGIS inspectors have gone through extensive training and testing with the Door and Hardware Institute (DHI) and are certified as Fire Door Assembly Inspectors (FDAI).

Following the inspection, a report will be issued outlining the condition of each Fire Door Assembly and any deficiencies found.
