Commercial Fire Doors Can Help Reduce the Spread of Smoke and Fire

One part of a safe fire protection program is having a fire door in your building. These doors help reduce the spread of fire, smoke, and toxic fumes between different sections of a facility. While their benefits often go unnoticed in daily operations, fire doors play an essential role in managing life safety during emergencies.

At Fire Extinguisher Sales & Service, we perform comprehensive fire door inspections to ensure these critical components are working as intended. Our certified team evaluates each fire door to verify its condition, function, and compliance with fire codes during every inspection.

A fire door inspection is a detailed evaluation of fire-rated doors and their components to ensure they function correctly in the event of a fire. These inspections are not just best practices—they are required annually by the NFPA 80 standard and often mandated by building and fire codes.

During an inspection, certified professionals assess whether your fire doors are capable of containing smoke and flames, providing time for safe evacuation and reducing property damage. A properly installed and maintained fire door can be the difference between minor smoke exposure and catastrophic loss.

By identifying issues early, inspections help ensure your facility remains compliant, protected, and ready for emergencies.

Benefits of Regular Inspections

It would be best if you got your fire doors inspected for many reasons, not only for legal obligations and meeting regulations but, most importantly, for protection. Understanding fire door inspection requirements, including mandatory annual inspections established by the NFPA 80 standard, is crucial for compliance and safety. A proper fire door can:

  • Saves Lives
  • Protect escape routes to allow people to evacuate quickly
  • Protect the rest of the building from any more damage
  • Can help stop smoke, fire, and fumes from escaping other sections of the building

Keeping these fire-specific doors in good shape is more important and complex than one would think. If the fire door isn't working properly, your building and those in it are at risk. Our team will check not only the condition of the doors with our comprehensive inspection but also if they were installed correctly, the configuration, the compatibility of the components, and the suitability of the door. We also check to see if your door is within legal compliance. Our team has over 50 years of fire safety experience and can answer any questions.

If you need your fire door inspected, we offer expert fire door inspections that can keep your building safe. At Fire Extinguisher Sales and Service, fire protection is our top priority, and we go the extra mile to ensure that your property is as safe as it can be.
