Fire door drop testing & NFPA 80 inspections
NFPA 80 requires rolling steel fire doors to be drop-tested and inspected every year by a trained technician. HPDS is certified to do it — and to document it.
Stay compliant, on schedule, on record
Fire doors are a life-safety system, and the law treats them that way. NFPA 80 requires annual drop testing and inspection of rolling steel fire doors, performed by a qualified technician, with signed records retained for review by your Authority Having Jurisdiction.
HPDS handles the full process: test, reset, repair if needed, and provide the documentation that proves you’re compliant. Schedule it once and we’ll keep you on track every year.
