What Is a Fire Door Maintenance?

Fire doors are subject to daily wear and tear. Seals degrade, closers lose tension, hinges work loose, and gaps open up over time. Without regular maintenance, a door that passed inspection 12 months ago may no longer meet the required standard. Our maintenance service keeps your fire doors in continuous compliance — addressing issues before they become failures.
