Florida Fire Door Inspections for AHJs

100% Code Compliance Guaranteed

Florida’s certified fire door inspection experts are dedicated to helping Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) enforce every fire door and smoke door code requirement.

Emphasizing Code Compliance & Credentials

Florida Fire Prevention Code & FBC 2023 Compliant

Florida’s fire safety laws including the Florida Fire Prevention Code and Florida Building Code (FBC 2023) explicitly mandate annual fire door inspections in accordance with NFPA 80 5.2.4, which requires documented yearly testing of all fire and smoke door assemblies.

FBC 2023 Reference: Chapters 3, 7, and 10 cover occupancy-specific fire barrier requirements to egress door standards.

Advanced Entry Solutions LLC exists to make compliance easier. As a woman-owned firm led by a Certified Fire Door Assembly Inspector (CFDAI) and Door & Hardware Consultant (DHC), we bring deep expertise to every inspection.

Our team specializes in NFPA 80 (fire door) and NFPA 105 (smoke door) compliance, delivering detailed inspection reports that give you confidence in the safety and legality of each assembly under your watch.

Addressing AHJ Pain Points

We understand the challenges that fire marshals face in the field every day.

Too often, fire-rated doors are unlabeled or improperly labeled, leaving AHJs unsure if an opening is actually fire-rated.

Doors propped open or unable to close, damaged frames, or incorrect hardware that undermine compartmentation.

Facilities lack up-to-date inspection records, making enforcement difficult during inspections.

Doors with gaps exceeding NFPA 80 standards compromise their fire resistance capabilities.

Our Solution to These Challenges

Advanced Entry Solutions tackles these pain points head-on. We identify and label every fire door during our inspections (no more mystery openings) and document every deficiency with photos and exact code references. Common issues we find like missing fire door labels, unfilled bolt holes in frames, or excessive door gap clearances, are all flagged in our reports according to NFPA 80 criteria.

By delivering a meticulous NFPA 80/105 compliance report for each facility, we arm you with the evidence you need to enforce corrections, without the headache.

Benefits for Florida Jurisdictions – Local Expertise

Serving counties across Central Florida with intimate knowledge of the Florida Building Code 2023.

Our intimate knowledge of the Florida Building Code 2023 (particularly the fire door provisions in Chapter 7: Fire and Smoke Protection Features and the egress requirements in Chapter 10: Means of Egress) means we tailor our services to Florida’s specific regulations, not just the national standards.

The result? Fewer compliance gaps for you to worry about. We ensure that every rated door, frame, and piece of hardware in your jurisdiction can perform its critical role in a fire – containing smoke and flame to its designated compartment.

By partnering with Advanced Entry Solutions, fire marshals greatly reduce the time spent on re-inspections and enforcement actions. Our proactive approach with facility owners leads to issues being corrected before they escalate into citations.

Ultimately, we share your goal: zero failed door assemblies during actual emergencies, and zero compromises in occupant safety.

Supporting the Fire Marshal's Wide Responsibilities

As a fire marshal, you’re responsible for an enormous range of building safety systems. With so much on your plate, it’s understandable that fire doors might not always top the priority list. However, they absolutely should not be overlooked – fire doors and compartmentation are a critical first line of defense in a fire, limiting the spread of flames and smoke to buy precious time.

We recognize how overwhelming the maze of door codes and standards can be on top of everything else you manage. That’s where we come in.

Advanced Entry Solutions helps take the guesswork out of the process and demystifies commercial door requirements. Think of us as an extension of your team dedicated solely to doors: we handle the intricate inspections, code interpretations, and follow-up documentation for every opening.

By entrusting the fire door compliance piece to our experts, you can focus on the broader fire protection picture knowing the door assemblies in your facilities are safe, compliant, and ready to perform when needed.
