Certified inspections for safer, compliant openings.
Allmar's certified fire door inspectors visually inspect and operationally test fire-rated door assemblies, identify deficiencies and provide documented inspection records to help building owners maintain safer, properly functioning openings.
A fire door only protects when the entire opening works.
Fire and egress door assemblies are critical components of a building's life-safety system.
Allmar combines knowledge of building codes with extensive door and hardware experience and certified inspection professionals to help building owners identify deficiencies and maintain properly functioning fire-rated openings.
Regular inspection and maintenance can help ensure that doors close, latch and perform as intended when they are needed most.
More than a door. Part of the building's protection system.
Fire-rated doors are intended to help contain fire and support safe egress. If components are damaged, modified, misaligned or unable to operate correctly, the opening may no longer perform as intended.
Inspection helps identify these issues before an emergency occurs.
Safe Egress
Doors must remain operational so occupants can move safely through the building.
Fire Containment
Properly functioning assemblies help support the intended protection of rated openings.
Door Operation
Closing, latching, hardware and alignment all influence how the assembly performs.
Building Security
Door assemblies that do not operate as designed can also create security concerns.
What an inspector looks for.
A fire door inspection considers the entire assembly — not simply the door slab. Allmar's inspectors review the physical condition, alignment, operation and key components that allow the opening to function as intended.
Door + Frame Condition
Visible damage to the door or frame that could affect the integrity or operation of the assembly.
Glazing
Presence, security and condition of glazing components where glazing is installed.
Alignment + Operation
Security, alignment and operability of the door, frame, hinges and associated hardware.
Missing or Broken Parts
Missing, damaged or broken components that may prevent correct operation.
Door Clearances
Clearances around the assembly that affect the performance of the opening.
Self-Closing Device
Confirmation that the self-closing device operates properly.
Door Coordinator
Operation of the coordinator where one is installed as part of the assembly.
Latching Hardware
Proper operation of latching hardware and associated door components.
Auxiliary Hardware
Items attached to or near the opening that may interfere with proper door operation.
Field Modifications
Identification of improper or unauthorized field modifications to the assembly.
Gasketing + Edge Seals
Presence and integrity of gasketing and edge seals where required.
Overall Operability
Verification that the complete assembly functions together as intended.
