The NFPA 80 Standard mandates that overhead rolling steel fire doors be working properly and drop tested annually. Our IDEA certified technician can help you follow this standard with an annual fire door drop test, including a comprehensive visual inspection, a functional test, and documentation for your life-safety files.
NFPA 80 Standard
The standard includes both a visual and functional inspection that the rolling steel fire door must pass. This includes having the original manufacturer’s label present and using OEM parts for repairs.
Visual Inspection
Ensure that all door components are in good condition and installed correctly with labels present. This also includes verifying fusible links are in the correct position.
Functional Testing (Drop Test)
Drop test the door, confirm proper operation across the full travel path, and verify the safety mechanism resets correctly.
