NFPA 80 requires annual inspection and testing of all fire door assemblies. Some AHJs in Northern Indiana and Southwest Michigan may require more frequent inspections. We provide complete written documentation for every door inspected — ready for your compliance records immediately after the visit.

A drop test verifies that a fire door's release mechanism correctly closes the door when activated by a fusible link, smoke detector, or fire alarm signal. This function test is a required component of NFPA 80 annual fire door compliance — a door that won't drop on command isn't protecting anyone.

Many deficiencies — failed closers, worn hardware, improper clearances — can be repaired without full fire door replacement. We use listed, fire-rated replacement hardware to ensure the assembly maintains its UL rating after every repair.

Every fire door inspection and installation produces a written service report documenting work performed, deficiencies found, hardware specifications, and post-work function verification. This is your NFPA 80 compliance record for each door.
