How Often Are Fire Doors Inspected in Washington DC?

For most commercial buildings, the baseline is annual fire door inspection under NFPA 80. Many properties also add interim checks when occupancy changes or hardware failures appear.

When to Inspect Beyond Annual Cycles

  • After major tenant turnover
  • After fire door hardware replacement projects
  • When repeated latch or closer failures occur
  • Before major occupancy reviews or insurance audits
  • When properties change operating schedules

Interim checks reduce surprise failures during formal annual inspections.
