Why You Need To Have Your Hollow Metal Fire Doors Tested Annually

If you are a business owner with hollow metal fire doors, you may already know the benefits of having them. They last longer, are sturdier than other types of door materials, normally require less repairs, and provide more security than other options. However, they still needs to be inspected and tested annually to make sure they stay up-to-code so they provide the most protection in case of fire.

Why door inspection matters to businesses

The local fire jurisdiction suggest that your hollow metal fire doors are tested and certified annual by a qualified door company.  If a fire inspector visits your site and a certified label is not on the door, they will require that you an inspection done.  Keeping your doors maintained and inspected annually will make unexpected inspections go smoothly.

What to look for in hollow metal door inspectors
