Overview

Standards set forth by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) require building owners and managers to have all types of fire and smoke-rated doors inspected and tested at least annually, and have a written record available. Door Control Services offers a variety of professional services to help ensure your door assemblies meet the stringent building code requirements mandated by regulatory bodies such as: CMS, The Joint Commission, Local Fire Marshals or AHJ’s, etc.
