Fire Door Inspection & Maintenance Schedule
Fire Door Inspection & Maintenance Schedule
| Requirement | Frequency | What’s Checked | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Visual Check | Daily / Weekly (by staff or facility team) | Doors are unobstructed, close fully, latches engage, seals intact | Catches obvious issues early before they become code violations or safety risks |
| Functional Test | Quarterly | Door closers, hinges, latches, hardware, alignment, and self-closing function | Ensures every moving part works as designed to contain fire and smoke |
| Annual Professional Inspection (NFPA 80 requirement) | Every 12 months | Full inspection by certified fire protection experts; documentation for compliance records | Mandatory for compliance with NFPA 80 and local fire codes; protects against fines and liability |
| Repairs & Replacements | As needed | Worn or damaged parts (frames, seals, glazing, hardware) | Extends the lifespan of fire doors and ensures operational reliability during an emergency |
