Did you know the door between your garage and your home is one of your most important lines of defense? ๐ช๐ก๏ธ
For maximum safety, all attached garages should feature a self-closing, fire-rated door. In this photo from a recent inspection, you can see the two key components we look for:
๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ง๐ฎ๐ด: Verification that the door can withstand heat and flames for a specified time.
๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด-๐๐ผ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐ฒ: The mechanism that ensures the door closes automatically.
๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ง๐ฒ๐๐: When we inspect these doors, we open them to a 90-degree angle and let go. As long as the door closes and latches completely on its own, it passes the safety test! โ
