REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL

Fire Door Inspection

The 2010 Florida Fire Prevention Code, effective December 31, 2011, requires fire doors to be maintained in accordance with NFPA 80 (2007 edition) which stipulates all fire door assemblies to be inspected annually and a written record retained. The goal of a commercial fire door inspection is to provide an indication as to whether the door is in a state of readiness to perform its intended function during a fire. We can develop a program for your facility to keep you in compliance or advise you of the expected cost to come into compliance during the due diligence inspection.

What's Included with Commercial Fire Door Inspection

Certified Inspectors NFPA 80 certified inspector will inspect your Fire Doors according to National Fire Protection Association NFPA 80, Standard for Fire Doors and Other Opening Protectives and will issue a report detailing all fire door defects. We work with several Fire Departments and can discuss the results of your Fire Door Inspection with them on your behalf.

At a high level, Swinging Fire Doors with Builders Hardware or Fire Door Hardware have 12 inspection categories:

No labels are missing or have been damaged on the door or frame.
No open holes or openings exist in surfaces of either the door or frame.
Glazing, vision light frames & glazing beads are properly installed, intact and securely fastened in place.
The door, frame, hinges, hardware, and noncombustible threshold are secured, aligned, and in working order with no visible signs of damage.
No parts are missing or broken.
Door clearances at the door edge of the door frame, on the pull side of the door, do not exceed 3/4″ at the bottom and top & edges 1/8″.
The self-closing device is operational and the active door completely closes when operated from the full open position.
If a coordinator is installed, the inactive leaf closes before the active leaf.
Latching hardware operates and secures the door when it is in the closed position.
Auxiliary hardware items that interfere operation are not installed on the door or frame.
No field modifications to the door assembly have been performed that void the label.
Gasketing and edge seals, where required, are inspected to verify their presence and integrity.

We do not perform fire door re-labeling or fire door repairs as this would be considered a conflict of interest. If you need fire door repairs or maintenance, we will be happy to refer qualified professionals in the area that can service all kinds of fire doors.

Fire Door Labeling

Certified Inspectors can help coordinate fire door recertification with one of the few fire door certification entities in the country. Such technicians will analyze and review the material and construction of the three major components of the fire door assembly – the door, the frame, and the kick plate, and apply the appropriate time-rated label as required by code.
