Commercial service FAQ
Fire-rated rolling door and counter shutter questions
01 How often do rolling fire doors need inspection and testing?
Fire door assemblies are commonly subject to periodic inspection and testing requirements, including annual requirements under NFPA 80 where adopted. The exact schedule and documentation depend on the assembly, occupancy, adopted code, insurer, and authority having jurisdiction.
02 What is checked during a rolling fire door drop test?
The service typically evaluates automatic release and closure, descent, full closing, reset, and normal operation, along with visible components such as the curtain, guides, bottom bar, release mechanism, fusible links, governor, operator, and controls. Procedures must follow the manufacturer and listed assembly.
03 Can a fire-rated door be repaired with standard rolling-door parts?
Not automatically. Fire-rated assemblies rely on listed components and approved configurations. Replacement parts and modifications must be compatible with the manufacturer, model, label, and applicable requirements so the assembly is not compromised.
04 What happens if a fire door fails testing?
The failed condition is documented and the door should be corrected and retested according to the applicable procedure. Repairs may involve guides, curtain components, release devices, fusible links, governor, operator, controls, or other listed parts.
