FAQ
The questions facility directors, plant operations leaders, and compliance teams ask us most often — answered without the fluff.
Many facilities are required to inspect fire door assemblies annually, especially in healthcare, commercial, institutional, and other regulated environments. FireDoor Nation helps document each inspected opening, identify deficiencies, and provide a clear report for facility records, AHJ review, and survey preparation.
A fire door inspection typically reviews the door, frame, hardware, clearances, labels, latching, self-closing operation, damage, glazing, gasketing, coordinator function when applicable, and other items that may affect fire door performance. FDN documents the condition of each opening and identifies any deficiencies that need correction.
If a fire door fails inspection, the deficiency should be documented and corrected. Common failures include damaged doors, missing or painted labels, excessive gaps, failed latching, failed closing, missing hardware, non-compliant glazing, and field modifications. FireDoor Nation can help prioritize repairs and replacement needs.
Yes. FireDoor Nation can assist with fire door repairs, hardware corrections, gap remediation, replacement planning, and closeout documentation. This helps facilities move from inspection findings to completed corrective action.
Replacement may be recommended when the door is severely damaged, missing required rating information, improperly modified, delaminated, has major holes or structural damage, or when repairs are no longer practical or cost-effective. FDN can help identify which doors are repairable and which should be replaced.
Yes. FireDoor Nation provides organized inspection documentation that can include door locations, inspection results, deficiency notes, photos when applicable, recommended corrections, and closeout documentation after repairs are completed.
Yes. FDN supports single facilities, multi-building campuses, and organizations with multiple locations. Our process is designed to help facility teams manage inspections, repairs, documentation, and compliance planning across multiple sites.
The timeline depends on the number of openings, facility size, building layout, access, and documentation needs. Smaller facilities may be completed quickly, while larger campuses or multi-site projects may require additional scheduling. FDN can review the facility details and provide an estimated timeline before work begins.
