Secure Doors, Protect Lives
Every second counts in a fire emergency and a properly inspected fire door can mean the difference between a contained incident and a tragedy.
Advanced Entry Solutions (AES) helps Florida’s nursing homes and senior care facilities meet NFPA annual fire door inspection requirements and CMS mandates rapidly and with minimal disruption.
The Hidden Fire Door Risks in Your Facility
Hidden fire door problems can come back to haunt you at the worst time. Picture this: a state fire inspector walks in, and that aging door with a loose latch suddenly becomes a major citation. Or worse, a small kitchen fire breaks out and an out-of-alignment door doesn’t fully close, letting smoke flood a wing where fragile residents reside.
The pain points are real: citations that threaten fines or even an admissions freeze, increased insurance liability, anxious residents and families, and the gnawing worry that you might not be truly prepared for an emergency.
Regulatory Citations
Facing fines, admissions freezes, or operational restrictions due to non-compliant fire doors.
Increased Liability
Higher insurance premiums and legal exposure when fire doors don’t perform as required.
Safety Concerns
Putting residents at risk with doors that may fail during an actual emergency.
Don’t let hidden door dangers jeopardize your residents or your license
Demystifying NFPA 80 & NFPA 105 Annual Fire Door Inspection Demands
For facility managers, here’s the bottom line: you need to inspect every fire-rated door at least once a year and keep a signed record of each inspection.
100% of fire doors must be inspected yearly – is your facility at 100% compliance?

Addressing Common Objections
Even with clear needs and strong solutions, it’s natural to have questions or concerns. Here are a few common objections we hear from facility managers and how we address them:
Can't our maintenance crew just do these inspections?
We're on a tight budget... we can't afford a huge repair project.
Our building is old – won't this require massive renovations to meet the code?
Won't inspections disrupt our residents and daily operations?
Our inspectors are courteous and trained to work in sensitive healthcare settings, they’ll perform the checks as unobtrusively as possible, often blending into the background.
What if we get cited after you inspect – do you stand by your work?
Absolutely. Our job isn’t finished until you have full compliance and peace of mind. We provide detailed documentation and reports that pass AHJ scrutiny time and again.
