Call our Calgary team403-650-5232What Red Deer's fire inspection checklists ask
Red Deer's Fire Prevention Bureau publishes the checklists it uses on commercial buildings. The light industrial one asks whether every fire separation door self-closes and positively latches, and whether those doors are kept closed rather than wedged open.
It also asks whether exit doors open from the inside with no more than one releasing operation, and whether the exit hardware meets the Alberta Building Code. A closer, latch or panic bar that has worn out of adjustment is the usual reason a door fails those questions, and those are the repairs we do.

City of Red Deer, Riverside Light Industrial Area land use reviewRepair or replace?
Like-for-like repairs, such as a new closer, hinge, latch or panic bar, don't usually need a permit. Changing an exterior door or its opening in a commercial building does, so we'll tell you which side of that line a job falls on before we book it.
Red Deer also sits in what's called Hailstorm Alley, the stretch of central Alberta from High River north to Lacombe. Storm-cracked door glass and dented frames are part of the repair list here, and we replace door glass with tempered, laminated or fire-rated units to match what was there.
Email the inspection report or photos, and we'll price each repair separately.
Our fire inspection report lists door deficiencies. Can you fix them?
Yes. Send us the report and we'll quote each item: closers that don't close the door fully, latches that don't catch, holders that keep doors open, damaged frames or seals. Repairs on rated doors use parts that suit the door's label.
Can a magnetic lock be used on an exit door?
Only under specific code conditions, such as releasing on fire alarm and power failure, with signage on the door. They are not a simple swap for a latch. Talk to us before installing one, and we'll check what your building's occupancy allows.
Do you repair residential doors in Red Deer?
No. We work on commercial and industrial buildings only, including multi-family properties.
How do Red Deer service visits get booked?
Send us the address and photos of the doors that need work. We plan Red Deer trips so one visit covers as many doors as possible.
