Fire door drop testing in Baltimore County
The annual NFPA 80 drop test on rolling fire doors, performed, reset, and documented.
NFPA 80 requires every rolling fire door and fire shutter be drop tested annually. The test must be recorded, and the door must be reset and returned to service. A door that has never been tested is a finding waiting to be written up. The write-up tends to arrive at the worst possible moment.
In Baltimore County, the rated openings that matter are in hospitals around Towson, public schools across the county, and parking structures at Owings Mills and Hunt Valley. They also include rated separations in White Marsh warehouses, and counter shutters in cafeterias, pharmacies, and school kitchens.
Our technicians drop the door, record what it did, replace due fusible links, and reset the counterbalance and the release. We leave a record per door in the exact format an inspector expects to see. If you want it, we keep the schedule and call you when next year is due. The test happens before the inspection rather than because of it.
Testing is grouped by building. A county school with six rated openings requires one visit, not six, and the paperwork comes back as one set.
One building, 28 trucks, 11 counties, dispatched to Baltimore County like every other.
