NFPA 80 Fire Door Inspection Checklist

Start with labels, clearances, latching, and hardware compatibility. If any opening fails self-close or self-latch, treat it as a priority deficiency.

Checklist You Can Use

  • Confirm rated labels on door and frame are legible
  • Test full self-closing and positive latching operation
  • Measure clearances at head, jamb, and undercut
  • Verify panic bars / exit devices function correctly
  • Inspect door closers for leaks, arm damage, and control
  • Check hinges, strikes, and frame anchoring
  • Review glazing and gasketing condition
  • Flag non-listed hardware or field modifications
