Annual Fire Door Drop Testing in Middle Georgia

If your business relies on automatic fire doors to halt the spread of fires, those doors require annual drop testing to ensure that they’ll adequately close off and seal when a fire breaks out.

Failure to have your fire doors drop tested every year can lead to fines, shutdowns, and other penalties.

At Overhead Door Company of Macon-Warner RobinsTM, we are the region’s only licensed fire door testing company. We have the tools needed to safely test, reset, and certify your facility’s fire doors for another year of protection.

Fire Doors: Automatic Protection During a Fire

row settings

Built from fire-resistant materials, fire doors can be connected to a facility’s fire alarm system or sprinklers or operate independently. Either way, when a fire is detected, or temperatures indicate that a fire is present, the door quickly drops shut and seals off the flames.

Drop Testing: Required for Compliance

Your business’s fire safety equipment is crucial to the safety of your team, your customers, and anyone else who enters your facilities. If your facility requires an automatic fire door to isolate and contain potential fires, it must be tested once a year. Without an annual test, your local fire marshal can issue fines and other penalties or even shut down your operations until a test is performed.

Drop Testing: Required for Safety

Compliance issues aside, your facility’s fire doors are literal lifesavers. The only way to know for sure that your team is actually protected by your fire doors is to have them tested. The last thing you want is to discover that there’s a fault in your fire doors during an active fire. In an emergency, you won’t have time to troubleshoot – you need to know that things will work the right way every time.

What Happens During a Test?

Our team will use special tools to test the door’s activation systems, and then activate the door itself. This test will show us whether:

  • All activation systems are working correctly.
  • The door is dropping fully into place with the appropriate speed.
  • All seals are correctly engaging and adequately preventing smoke and gas from passing through the firewall.
