• Provide “Area of Refuge” • Security – Ability to close and lock off openings as desired. • Sound Attenuation – In addition to fire protection, insulated fire doors carry an STC rating to muffle unwanted sound between areas. • Means of Egress Protection –Protect parallel openings along egress paths. Smoke protection also is commonly required by local building codes.

All horizontal or vertical sliding and rolling fire doors shall be inspected and tested annually to check for proper operation and full closure. Resetting of the automatic-closing device shall be done in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. A written record shall be maintained and shall be made available to the AHJ. When the annual test for proper operation and full closure is conducted, rolling steel fire doors shall be drop tested twice. The first test shall be to check for proper operation and full closure. A second test shall be done to verify that the automatic-closing device has been reset correctly.
