Fire doors are the first line of defense for a structure during emergencies by containing the flame and smoke. Bear Yuba Locksmiths specializes in maintaining their operational integrity through diligent maintenance and safety for all that dwell there.
Compliance Inspections
Bear Yuba carries out an in-depth inspection that seeks to confirm all doors meet the current fire code standards, including ratings, signage, clearance gaps, and closure efforts. Such documentation enhances the review of quarters.
Hardware Evaluation
Door closers, magnetic locks, and auxiliary hardware undergo testing ensuring consistent closing within 3-5 seconds per code. Replacement parts have kept mechanisms functioning optimally for decades.
Self-Closer Adjustments
Door pressures regulating opening/closing speeds undergo seasonal calibration checks accounting for temperature/humidity fluctuations affecting closure times which can reduce from use over years.
Lock and Alignment
Adjustments maintain precise frame/door alignments preventing binding and ensuring consistent latching each use. Binding doors diminish fire resistance ratings posing life safety risks.
Seal and Threshold Inspections
Perimeter seals around doors and thresholds are replaced, thereby maintaining tightly prescribed airflow paths that may degrade over time to permit smoke passage and compromise compartmentalization.
Materials Inventories
