🚪🔍 Montreal Fire Door Inspection – Montreal Fire Safety & Compliance

Attention building owners and property managers! 🏢🔥 The fire department performs yearly inspections to ensure safety and compliance. At Serrurier Shay Locksmith, we specialize in inspecting and repairing all doors so you can pass your inspections without stress.

✅ What We Check During Door Inspections:

  1. Latching Issues ⚠️
    • Doors must latch properly.
    • Doors that close too fast or too slow are unsafe.
  2. Obstructions & Misalignment 🛑
    • Doors that don’t fully close because of a door closer arm or because they hit the frame.
  3. Fire-Rated Plates 🔥
    • Fire-rated labels/plates on doors must be clean and visible (no paint covering them).
  4. Push Paddles & Exit Devices 🖐️
    • Main doors: push paddles must function properly.
    • Exit doors: push bars must fully retract (100%) when pressed.
  5. Door Closers 💧
    • Check for oil leaks and proper operation.
  6. Electric Strikes & Strike Plates ⚡
    • Missing or damaged parts must be replaced.
  7. Door Hinges 🔩
    • Missing or worn hinges can prevent proper door operation.
  8. Handles & Hardware 🖐️
    • Missing handles or broken parts must be repaired or replaced.
  9. Garbage Chute Doors & Windows 🗑️
    • Each garbage chute door must close automatically by itself.
    • Inside the garbage room, the chute window where you drop your bag must close back automatically after use.
    • Doors or windows left open are a serious fire hazard.
  10. Exit Door Requirements 🚪
  • Exit doors must always be clear and unobstructed.
  • No additional locks are allowed.
  • Only permitted device: removable weldable bar (commonly used in warehouses).

⚡ How to Speed Up the Inspection:

To save time and labor costs, clients should:

  • Mark all doors with yellow notes or tape. 🟨
  • Mark floors and door locations clearly.
  • Send us a diagram if you cannot be on-site. 🗺️
  • Best option: Be on-site with us to show all doors. 🧑‍🔧

If no markings are provided or no one is on-site, labor time may increase.

🛠️ Step-by-Step Process:

  1. Full walkthrough of all doors. 🚶‍♂️
  2. Check latches, closers, push paddles, hinges, handles, electric strikes, and exit devices. 🔧
  3. Inspect garbage chute doors and windows to ensure they self-close properly. 🗑️
  4. Clean fire-rated plates and remove paint or obstructions. 🖌️
  5. Repair or replace defective hardware. ⚙️
  6. Confirm all exit paths are clear and compliant. ✅
