Fire doors serve as barriers to restrict the spread of fire and smoke. Unless held open by automatic systems, fire doors shall be kept closed at all times and should never be propped open. Do not prop fire doors open with unapproved devices such as wedges or blocks. Care should be taken to not obstruct fire doors with equipment, furniture, etc.

Fire doors are located usually in stairwells, hallways or anywhere else required by fire code. Not all doors are considered fire doors. If a door has an EXIT sign above or near it, it is probably a fire door. If you notice fire doors propped open, please close them and immediately contact Access Control & Security Systems at 216.687.3842.

AC&SS facilitates monthly checks of buildings to ensure fire doors are closed.
