Oh, the stuff we see in the field!

Our Fire Door Inspection Technician has been sending me some great pictures of what he has been experiencing in the field. Some of these pictures are so bad (and so out of compliance) they are almost comical. See if you can tell what's wrong with these Fire Doors?

Inspecting Fire-Rated Doors

Fire-rated doors are an extremely important part of a building’s overall passive fire protection system. A properly operating fire door and fire assembly is a key component in the compartmentalization of a building to stop the spread of deadly fire and smoke.  The fire-resisted door assembly, which includes the frame and hardware, provides a specified degree of fire protection when the door is closed, and is composed of a surprisingly complex system of parts that allow the fire door to work properly in the event of a fire: the fire door, frame, fire exit hardware, door closers, hinges, locks, door bolts, and other door components.
