What Is Fire Door Drop Testing?
Fire door drop testing verifies that a fire-rated door will automatically close and latch properly during a fire event.
This includes testing:
- Automatic closing function
- Door drop speed and control
- Proper latching and sealing
- Track and guide alignment
- Release mechanisms and fusible links
If a fire door does not close correctly, it may fail to contain smoke and fire — which can lead to serious safety risks and compliance violations.
NFPA 80 Annual Inspection Requirements
Under NFPA 80, fire-rated doors must be:
- Inspected annually
- Tested for proper operation
- Verified to fully close and latch
- Checked for damage or obstruction
- Documented with written inspection records
These inspections are often required for:
- Insurance compliance
- Fire marshal inspections
- Building safety audits
- Property management standards
Fire Door Certification & Documentation
After testing, we provide clear, professional documentation for your records.
This may include:
- Inspection reports
- Pass/fail status
- Noted deficiencies
- Recommended repairs
- Compliance documentation for AHJs (Authorities Having Jurisdiction)
We keep things simple and easy to understand — no confusing reports or vague findings.
