Ontario’s Fire Code sets out what has to be true of a fire door, and it is worth reading literally. The closures in a fire separation must be maintained in operating condition — which explicitly includes making the hardware adjustments and repairs needed for proper closing and latching, and repairing or replacing hold-open and automatic release devices that no longer work. The Code is just as plain in the other direction: those closures must not be obstructed, blocked, wedged open, or altered in any way that stops them working. In many occupancies the doors in a fire separation are also expected to be checked monthly.
That last line is why a documented round is worth more to a Richmond Hill property manager than a repair is. If somebody from Richmond Hill Fire and Emergency Services asks how you know your separations work, a signed list of every rated opening — tested, adjusted and dated — is a much shorter conversation than a memory.
So we work these buildings as a list rather than as a series of complaints. Every self-closing device released from full open, not from halfway. Latch speed and closer sizing corrected where the door reaches the strike without engaging it. Strike, latch, gasketing and clearances sorted where the leaf is not seating. Failed units replaced. Hold-opens that no longer drop on an alarm signal repaired or swapped — and any door being held by something that will never release flagged separately, because that one is not a maintenance item. It is a violation for as long as it stays there.

Fire Door Closers & Self-Closing Devices — your questions
Do you handle a whole Richmond Hill tower at once, floor by floor?
That is our preferred way to work. We walk the rated door list — stairwells, corridor separations, refuse rooms, service rooms — test each device from a full open position, adjust what will adjust, and note what needs hardware. You get one written list at the end instead of a scatter of individual invoices through the year.
Can we hold a corridor door open during a condo move?
Not with a wedge or a strap. A rated door held open by anything that will not release on an alarm signal is a violation for as long as it stays there, and move days are exactly when they get forgotten and left. An alarm-released magnetic hold-open is the legal version, and on most corridor doors it is a small job.
Our door closes but rests on the strike without latching. Is that really a problem?
Yes, and it is the failure inspectors look for hardest, because a door that is not latched will be pushed open by the pressure a fire creates. The usual causes are latch speed set too slow, a closer without the power for that door, or a strike that has shifted as the frame moved. All three are correctable and none of them need a new door.
How much does fire door closers & self-closing devices cost in Richmond Hill?
