Mandatory Testing

Comprehensive Fire Door Auditing for Facility Managers

NFPA 80 requires every swinging commercial fire door assembly to be inspected and tested annually to confirm it will function as intended during a fire.

A passing fire door must automatically close and latch from any open position, maintain required perimeter gap clearances, and feature intact, unpainted UL or Intertek certification labels. Our certified inspection process identifies minor hardware wear before it causes an audit failure or safety hazard.
