Visible\nDamage<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first and\nmost apparent sign that a fire door needs replacement is visible damage. This\ncan include cracks, warping, or holes in the door or its frame, which can\ncompromise its integrity and effectiveness in an emergency. If a fire door\nshows signs of significant wear and tear, it may no longer be fit for its purpose.\nWe recommend annual inspections as mandated by the NFPA<\/a> and are here to provide expert advice on whether a door can\nbe repaired or if a replacement is the safer option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Non-Compliance\nwith Regulations<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Before\ninstalling entry and exit doors to your commercial building, you check the\nlatest ADA regulations<\/a>.\nThe same thing applies to fire doors. Over time, safety standards evolve, and\nolder fire doors may no longer meet current requirements. Non-compliance not\nonly poses a safety risk but can also result in legal and financial\nrepercussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Door\nHardware is Damaged<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the\nfunctionality of the door’s hardware is a critical aspect to consider. Fire\ndoors rely on various components like hinges, handles, and closers to function\ncorrectly. If these parts have degraded over time, they can impede the door’s\noperation. When this happens to your fire doors, call a trusted fire door\ninstaller and avoid going DIY. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
