You've got fire doors, but do you know how to maintain them? Sure, you've hired the top company for fire door replacement NYC has to offer - The Door Store. But the buck doesn't stop there. Most building owners don't realize the importance of fire door maintenance or think it's a one-and-done deal. Wrong. This article is your wake-up call, explaining what you need to know to ensure your fire doors remain efficient and reliable over time. Let's dive in.

First things first, you need to check your fire doors regularly. This isn't optional or something to sweep under the rug, it's the law. NYC Building Code requires periodic inspection and maintenance of fire doors by building owners. Not following the code can lead to fines and penalties. Besides, you're putting lives at risk. Don't be that person. Have a schedule, stick to it, and check those doors every six months. Safety first, always.

Of course, you're not expected to become a fire door expert overnight. However, there are specific things you should be looking out for when inspecting your fire doors. Door latches, seals, hinges, the list goes on. But here's the thing - fire door components are crucial to their functionality. If something malfunctions, you could be in big trouble. Don't take that risk. Educate yourself, know what issues to spot, and ensure your doors meet NFPA 80 standards. Don’t cut corners here.

Here's a golden nugget for you: take action on any issues you uncover. You'll often come across some minor problems that seem insignificant—a small gap between the door and frame, a slightly misaligned door, or some loose screws. However, keep this in mind - there's no room for error when it comes to fire doors. These doors are designed to withstand high heat and prevent the spread of fire. A single overlooked issue can render the entire door useless when you need it the most. Be proactive, fix those issues, and don't put them off for another day.

Alright, it's time to wrap this up. Fire doors are there to save lives, but if you don't maintain them properly, they can't do their job. You've invested in quality fire door installation by The Door Store, so why not go the extra mile and ensure they function as intended, without fail? Schedule regular inspections, check all components thoroughly, and take immediate action when you spot any problems. You've got this.
