Fire Door Inspection, Supply & Installation in Ontario
2026 OFC & NFPA 80 Compliant. Inspection, Installation, Replacement & Hardware.
Fire doors are a critical part of your building's passive fire protection system — they contain fire and smoke, protect evacuation routes, and give occupants time to escape. The 2026 Ontario Fire Code introduced new monthly fire door inspection requirements under Section 2.2, making this one of the most significant recent changes affecting Ontario building owners and property managers.
First National Fire Protection provides monthly and annual fire door inspections for commercial, industrial, and multi-residential buildings across Ontario. Our certified inspectors identify deficiencies before they become code violations and provide clear, actionable deficiency reports.
