Most fire doors we see in Edmonton don't fail because of the door. They fail because of what's been done to it: a closer removed because the door was heavy, a latch taped over, a hole drilled for a new lock, or a door wedged open for a delivery and left that way.
Replacing those parts with ones that suit the door's label restores the assembly. Where the door or frame is damaged, we supply a new labelled assembly, matched to the opening and the rating it needs.

Edmonton Fire Rescue Services, WikipediaCan a fire door be held open?
Only by a device that lets it close automatically when the fire alarm goes off. Wedges, hooks and kick-down stops aren't allowed on fire doors. If a door is propped open because people need it open, a magnetic hold-open tied to the alarm is the fix.
We install hold-open devices on rated doors and test that they release.
Forward the fire inspector's notes and we'll price every deficiency on them.
Our inspection report says a fire door doesn't latch. What now?
Usually the closer needs adjusting or replacing, or the latch and strike are out of line. We'll fix it with parts that suit the label and note the repair for your records.
Can a fire door be painted?
Yes, the door and frame can be painted. The labels can't. Painted-over labels are a common inspection finding.
Do you supply fire doors for new buildings?
Yes. We price labelled doors, frames and hardware straight from your door schedule. See hollow metal doors in Edmonton.
