Fire Door Drop TestYour business is something that you put your pride and hard work into each day.  It is something that you’ve worked hard to build.  We know that the safety of your employees, your customers and yourself is something that is of utmost importance. A fire door drop test can put your mind at ease and give you the satisfaction that your fire rated doors meet fire and safety requirements and that your doors are in good working condition.

A fire door drop test is a simple, yet important test.  When your doors were installed and inspected, they were fire door drop tested, but did you know that the NFPA (National Fire Protection Agency) requires that your doors are tested annually, as well?

A fire door drop test is an annual inspection of your commercial doors to ensure that they meet fire safety compliance.  As you use your doors, they can become coated in dust, grease and other debris.  A fire door drop inspection ensures that the door’s operation and mechanisms are free from debris and damage.  The door is tested for functionality to ensure that all hardware is in good condition and good working order.  The door is tested for damage and to ensure that it operates correctly in the open position and it is secure in the closed position.  Give us a call at Overhead Door Company of Charleston so that one of our trained and qualified door technicians can help you meet the NFPA annual requirement and ensure that your doors are in good, safe working condition.
