No Open Holes or Breaks

Typical discrepancies in fire assemblies are unused fastener holes resulting from removal and /or replacement of hardware items on the door or the frame. Unless the original hardware can be replaced without leaving unused holes, the assembly will need to be replaced. Holes or openings will permit the flames, smoke, and gases to spread to the unaffected areas of the building. Dents, penetrations or de-lamination of the door or frame surfaces will require that the door or frame assembly be repaired or replaced.

 

  Closing Device

The closing device is critical on a fire door assembly. Without a properly working device, the fire door assembly is rendered useless. Hydraulic closers can develop leaks over time, which reduces their ability to control the opening and closing speeds of the door leaves. It is extremely important that the door closer is able to move the door leaf to the completely closed position and latched, even if it is slamming the door; it meets the intent of NFPA 80. The closing and latching speeds of the door closers can be properly adjusted to overcome resistance of the latching hardware and pressure from HVAC systems.

Testing -The closing devise should be tested from the full open position.
