Annual Fire Door Inspection Emergency Fire Door Service Fire doors are life-safety systems. They only protect a building when the entire assembly closes, latches, releases, and documents correctly.
Fire door inspection is not just a paperwork exercise. A fire door assembly must be ready to close and protect a rated opening when the building needs it most. RCI Doors™ inspects the door, frame, guides, labels, hardware, clearances, gaskets, self-closing devices, latches, fusible links, and release systems that make the assembly perform.
For facilities with rolling fire doors, overhead fire doors, or coiling fire doors, RCI Doors™ performs fire door drop testing and documents the result. If a fire door fails inspection or does not drop and reset correctly, the team can recommend repair, replacement, or retrofit through related services such as rolling steel doors and commercial door service.
RCI Doors™ serves fire door inspection customers across the Charlotte metro, the Piedmont Triad, and nearby North Carolina markets. Review the service area section below to find the location closest to your facility.
If your inspection is overdue, or a fire door is blocked, damaged, painted over, missing a label, or unable to close and latch, treat it as a life-safety issue. RCI Doors™ can inspect, document, and repair the assembly before it becomes a failed audit or an insurance problem.
Fire door inspection brings the visible door, hidden hardware, release mechanism, and documentation into one defensible process.
Most failed inspections come from hardware, labels, clearances, release mechanisms, or doors that cannot close and latch correctly.
Excessive perimeter or undercut gaps can prevent the assembly from maintaining its rating.
Labels must remain legible so the rating, manufacturer, and listing agency can be confirmed.
Damaged smoke gaskets or intumescent seals compromise the rated opening.
A fire door that closes but does not positively latch is not performing as required.
Wrong, missing, damaged, or field-modified hardware can cause a failed inspection.
Rolling and overhead fire doors must release, close, and reset correctly during testing.
Do not wait for an AHJ, insurance audit, or life-safety event to identify a fire door problem.
A fire door that cannot close and latch cannot protect the rated opening.
Don't ignore thisWithout a readable label, the rating and listing cannot be confirmed.
Don't ignore thisImproper clearances can compromise the assembly's performance.
Don't ignore thisRelease and reset failures are common reasons rolling doors fail inspection.
