Fire Door Inspection
NFPA 80 compliant · Annual 13-point inspection · Photo-documented for AHJ and insurer.
What is Fire Door Inspection?
Fire door inspection is the annual 13-point NFPA 80 inspection that proves every fire-rated door assembly in your building will close, latch and hold under fire conditions. Doors are a critical part of your compartmentation strategy — and the Ontario Fire Code requires every commercial, multi-residential, retirement and institutional building to inspect its rated openings every twelve months.
First National Fire Protection performs fire door inspection on stairwell doors, suite entry doors, smoke doors, electrical and mechanical room doors, and rated frames throughout your portfolio. Every door is photographed, documented and rated against the NFPA 80 checklist.
Where we find deficiencies, we provide a prioritized remediation plan — closers, hinges, smoke seals, intumescent strips, latching hardware and full labelled door assemblies. We supply and install replacements as part of the same service.

Ontario Fire Code & Insurer Requirements
The Ontario Fire Code requires annual fire door inspection in commercial, multi-residential, retirement and institutional buildings. NFPA 80 sets the inspection standard. Failed or undocumented doors are among the top deficiencies in fire prevention audits — and they directly compromise the compartmentation your building relies on.
A propped, painted-over, modified or damaged fire door can void the rating of an entire stairwell or floor compartment. Annual fire door inspection catches the issue before the fire prevention officer does.

“We had an unexpected city inspection at one of our short-term rental properties and discovered our fire safety systems were not up to code. First National Fire Protection responded immediately and was on-site within days. The service was thorough, informative, and efficient — exactly what we needed under pressure. We'll be using them for all annual inspections, repairs, and maintenance going forward. Highly recommend.”
