A fire door only does its job if it closes and latches without anyone touching it. Ontario's Fire Code requires closures in a fire separation to be maintained in operating condition — that includes making the adjustments and repairs to door hardware needed to ensure proper closing and latching, and repairing or replacing inoperative hold-open and automatic releasing devices. It also states plainly that those closures must not be obstructed, blocked, wedged open or altered in a way that prevents them working.
Propping is the first thing to stop. A wedged stairwell, garbage-room or corridor door defeats the separation entirely, and it is one of the easiest findings for an inspector to write up in a Richmond Hill building. If traffic genuinely needs the door open — a condo moving day, a school corridor, a busy office floor — the compliant answer is an electromagnetic hold-open tied into the fire alarm so the door releases and closes on an alarm signal, not a doorstop.
We work fire doors building-wide rather than one at a time: test every self-closing device, confirm each door latches from any open position, correct latch speed and closer sizing, replace failed units, sort out the strike, latch, gasketing and clearances that are stopping the door from seating, and hand back a written record of what was found and what was corrected for your fire safety plan file. Buildings here are also asked about the Code's expectation that fire-separation doors are checked monthly, and a documented professional round makes that conversation with Richmond Hill Fire and Emergency Services a great deal shorter.

Fire Door Closers & Ontario Fire Code Compliance — your questions
Our fire door closes but does not latch. Is that a violation?
Treat it as one. The Fire Code expects closures in a fire separation to close and latch properly, and a door resting against the strike is an open door as far as fire and smoke are concerned. It is one of the most common findings in Richmond Hill condo and apartment buildings, and it usually corrects with latch-speed adjustment, correct closer sizing, or a strike and latch repair.
Can we prop the fire door open during a condo move or a delivery?
No. The Fire Code says closures in a fire separation must not be obstructed, blocked or wedged open, and moving day is exactly when inspectors and property managers find the wedges. The compliant way to keep a door open is a hold-open device released by the fire alarm, which we can install on most fire doors.
Do you handle a whole Richmond Hill building at once?
Yes, and for fire doors that is the sensible way to do it. We walk every fire separation, test each self-closing device, correct what we can on the spot, list what needs parts, and leave you a written record you can keep with your fire safety plan documentation.
