Rolling Steel Fire Doors
During an emergency, rolling steel fire doors drop automatically in order to limit the spread of smoke and flame.
When correctly installed and maintained, they not only protect the lives of your staff, but also minimize damage to assets, inventory, and infrastructure.
Vortex maintenance teams are trained and certified on all aspects of rolling steel fire doors. As a dependable service partner, we conduct regular inspections, repairs, and retrofits designed to optimize your door’s operation and ensure it functions according to the strict standards set down by the National Fire Protection Association. Our technicians are trained to identify issues before they lead to malfunctions that could endanger your business and personnel, including:
- Bent or Misaligned Guides: Crooked, dented, or uneven guide tracks keep doors from rolling smoothly up and down, straining components and possibly allowing fire to spread beyond its initial flashpoint.
- Worn Springs: Rolling fire doors rely on tension springs to open and shut quickly. Weakened springs may fail or cause the door to catch during an emergency.
- Obstructions: Rolling fire doors require a clear path in order to protect your facility. Vortex inspectors examine the door’s guide tracks for debris that could prevent them from closing fully.
- Worn Smoke Seal: Made from rubber or plastic, smoke seal creates an airtight seal around the door frame, in order to prevent smoke from spreading throughout your building. Weatherstripping that has become stiff or frayed should be replaced to minimize the risk of smoke inhalation and damage.
- Illegible or Painted Fire Rated Label: Fire regulations require fire labels to be clearly visible and readable. Deteriorated labels could result in legal penalties.

Besides ensuring the reliability of your doors, inspections and maintenance extend their lifespan and lower the cost of ownership.
