A fire door only does its job if it closes and latches without anyone touching it. Ontario's Fire Code requires the closures in a fire separation to be maintained in operating condition, and the two findings we are called about most in Vaughan buildings are a door that swings shut but stops short of latching, and a door that has been wedged, chained or propped because staff found it inconvenient.
Propping is the one to stop first. A wedged stairwell, corridor or garbage-room door defeats the separation entirely, and it is one of the easiest things for a Vaughan Fire and Rescue Service inspector to write up. If traffic genuinely needs that door open — a move-in day in a Thornhill condo, a shipping aisle in a Concord distribution building — the correct answer is an electromagnetic hold-open tied into the fire alarm so the door releases and closes on an alarm signal. Not a doorstop, and not a milk crate.
We work fire doors building-wide rather than one at a time: check every closer and self-closing device, confirm the door latches from any open position, correct latch speed and closer sizing, replace failed units, sort out the strike, latch and gasketing that are stopping the leaf from seating, and hand back a written record of what was found and corrected for your fire safety plan file.

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. A fire door has to close and latch on its own for the separation to hold — a leaf resting against the strike is an open door as far as smoke and fire are concerned. It is a common finding in Vaughan buildings and usually corrects with latch-speed adjustment, proper closer sizing, or a strike and latch repair.
Can we prop the fire door open during deliveries or a move-in?
No. Wedging or chaining a fire door defeats the separation it exists to create and is one of the most frequently written-up items in multi-residential and industrial buildings alike. The compliant way to keep it open is a hold-open device released by the fire alarm, which we can fit to most fire doors.
Do you handle a whole building at once?
Yes, and for anything with more than a handful of openings 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.
