Service & Maintenance Requirements

To ensure continued fire protection and compliance, regular maintenance is essential:

1. Annual Fire Door Inspections

Fire doors play a critical role in preventing the spread of fire and ensuring the safety of building occupants. According to NFPA-80 (National Fire Protection Association) regulations, all fire-rated doors must be inspected at least once per year to ensure they function properly. Regular inspections help prevent compliance violations, mitigate fire risks, and ensure doors operate as intended in an emergency.

What is Included in an Annual Fire Door Inspection?

  1. Visual Inspection:
    1. Check for visible signs of damage, such as dents, warping, or rust, that could compromise fire protection.
    2. Ensure the fire door label is legible and intact, verifying that it meets the required rating.
    3. Inspect the door frame and surrounding structure for gaps or cracks that may reduce fire resistance.
  2. Operational Testing:
    1. Open and close the door manually and/or using the automatic system to ensure smooth operation.
    2. Verify that the self-closing and latching mechanisms function correctly.
    3. Ensure that no obstructions are present that would prevent proper closure.
  3. Automatic Closing & Release Mechanism Checks:
    1. Activate the fire alarm system to test the door’s automatic closing response.
    2. Verify that fusible links, smoke detectors, and fire alarm interfaces are in working condition.
    3. Ensure that release mechanisms disengage properly without excessive force.
  4. Seals & Gaskets Inspection:
    1. Check that all intumescent seals, gaskets, and weather stripping are properly installed and in good condition.
    2. Replace any worn or missing seals to maintain smoke and fire containment.
  5. Door Gaps & Clearance Testing:
    1. Ensure that door clearance meets NFPA-80 standards (e.g., clearance should not exceed 3/4 inch under the door).
    2. Inspect perimeter gaps between the door and frame for proper sealing.
  6. Hardware & Lock Testing:
    1. Check that locks, handles, and panic bars operate smoothly without impeding emergency egress.
    2. Ensure hinges and closing devices are properly secured and lubricated.
    3. Verify that all bolts and fasteners are intact and have not loosened over time.

Why Regular Fire Door Inspections Are Essential

  • Legal & Code Compliance: Failure to conduct annual inspections can result in fines, penalties, and legal liabilities.
  • Fire Safety Assurance: Ensures that fire doors function properly in emergencies, reducing risk to lives and property.
  • Extended Door Lifespan: Preventative maintenance helps avoid costly replacements by addressing minor issues early.
  • Insurance Requirements: Many insurance policies mandate compliance with NFPA-80 standards for coverage eligibility.

2. Testing of Automatic Closing Systems

Regular testing verifies the response times and activation efficiency of self-closing and automatic fire door mechanisms. Testing includes:

  • Confirming the release of fire doors upon fire alarm activation.
  • Ensuring proper closing speed and full door closure.
  • Checking battery backups and power sources for automated systems.

3. Lubrication & Hardware Checks

  • Apply lubrication to hinges and mechanical components to maintain smooth door operation.
  • Inspect latching hardware and fasteners for wear and replace them as necessary.
