FIRE DOORS
Safe√ Check educates its customers as to the critical role of the Fire Doors in the Passive Fire Protection System. We discuss with our customers the fact that fire doors have the greatest potential for failure due to the high frequency that fire doors are used on a day-to-day basis (school and hospital corridors). For this reason concurrence in regulatory compliance has been established by (a) The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), (b) The International Code Council (ICC), and (c) The Joint Commission [Healthcare], which requires the inspection of Fire Doors.
Safe√ Check recognizes NFPA 101®, Life Safety Code®, and NFPA 80, Standard for Fire Doors and Other Opening Protectives®.
Safe√ Check's Fire Door Assembly Inspection Program not only ensures the facility’s fire rated doors operate properly, but also ensures that ALL components associated with the Fire Door Assembly are inspected as well. This inspection includes the validation of the frame, hinges, bolts, locks, exit hardware as well as other components.
