Fire door assemblies are a major part of protecting the safety of occupants in your building. When working on a project, the most important thing to keep in mind is life safety. Are you doing everything you can to provide a safe space in the case of a fire- and are you up to code? Fire door assemblies are required by NFPA 80 to be inspected after installation, after maintenance, and annually, to ensure that they are functioning properly. Warren Doors & Access Control has certified fire door inspectors to handle all your routine and immediate fire safety needs. Take a look below at all the items we clear when inspecting your fire door assemblies:
