Fire Door Repair & Inspection
Downtown Doors & Security repairs and services fire-rated doors across Brooklyn and Manhattan so they meet code and pass inspection. We correct the common failures inspectors flag — doors that don't self-close and latch, oversized clearances, damaged or missing labels, painted-over hardware, and worn closers — on apartment, stairwell, and commercial fire doors.
A fire-rated door only protects an exit if it fully closes and latches on its own, seals within code clearances, and keeps its rated hardware and label intact. Over time closers weaken, gaps open up, hardware gets swapped, and labels get painted over — and the door fails inspection.
We inspect and repair fire and stairwell doors in multi-unit residential and commercial buildings: resetting closers and coordinators, adjusting clearances, replacing rated hinges, latches, and seals, and correcting the deficiencies flagged in NFPA 80 annual fire-door inspections.
When you need it
- An FDNY or annual NFPA 80 fire-door inspection flagged deficiencies
- A stairwell or apartment fire door won't self-close or latch
- Clearances (gaps) around the door exceed code
- The rated hardware, closer, or self-closing device is damaged or missing
- The fire label is painted over, damaged, or unreadable
- Hardware has been replaced with non-rated parts
How it works
- 1
Inspect against code
We check the door, frame, closer, latching, clearances, seals, and label against NFPA 80 fire-door requirements and note every deficiency.
- 2
Repair to rating
We reset or replace closers and coordinators, adjust clearances, and fit rated hinges, latches, and seals so the assembly holds its fire rating.
- 3
Verify self-close & latch
We cycle the door to confirm it self-closes and positively latches from any position, and that the label and rated hardware are intact.
How pricing works
Every fire doors job is priced after a free on-site assessment — no guesswork and no surprises. We diagnose the real issue, explain your options in plain language, and give you clear pricing before any work begins.
Frequently asked
My building failed its fire-door inspection — can you fix the deficiencies?
Yes. We correct the deficiencies NFPA 80 inspections flag — self-closing and latching, clearances, seals, rated hardware, and labels — so the doors pass on re-inspection.
Do all my fire doors need to self-close and latch?
Yes — a fire door must self-close and positively latch on its own to do its job. A door propped, dragging, or that doesn't latch is a common and citable failure we correct.
