Is this a rolling fire door?
A rolling fire door is a labeled assembly intended to protect a fire-rated opening and close as designed when released. Its curtain, guides, closing system, release devices, and other components work as an assembly. A metal rolling door is not automatically a fire door.
| Existing information | What it helps establish |
|---|---|
| Door label or equipment record | Manufacturer, model, and rated assembly identity |
| Prior inspection and test report | Earlier findings, test date, and unresolved work |
| Fusible link or alarm-related release identified in records | Which closing and release system needs coordination |
| Opening location | Access, affected area, and facility arrangements |
| Repair history | Alterations or parts that may need review |
A fusible link is a heat-responsive part used in some closing systems. Do not handle it, disconnect it, or operate a release to see what happens. Existing records are enough for the call; the provider can arrange safe identification.
Rolling fire doors and counter fire doors belong here. Ordinary rolling service doors belong on commercial roll-up door repair. Swinging fire doors, the building fire-alarm panel, sprinkler systems, and other fire-protection systems are separate scopes.
What is an annual drop test?
A drop test is a controlled check of a rolling fire door's automatic closing function by a qualified specialist. It is different from pressing the normal open or close button and different from a general maintenance visit. Inspection, the test, reset, and written findings need to be defined together.
DASMA's TDS 271, revised June 2025, recommends an annual or more frequent professional inspection and drop-test arrangement for rolling fire doors. That is the manufacturer's association's published guidance; the applicable code, NFPA 80 provisions, door instructions, and issuing authority determine the requirements for a specific opening. DASMA TDS 271
| Ask for in the proposal | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Exact doors and locations | Establishes which assemblies the price covers |
| Inspection before testing | Identifies conditions that affect the test or need repair |
| Release-system coordination | Establishes any required work with the alarm provider or other responsible party |
| Controlled test and reset | Defines the specialist work beyond normal powered operation |
| Written results for each door | Creates a usable record of what passed, failed, or remains unresolved |
| Repair and retest terms | Separates the test charge from corrective work |
Do not attempt a drop test, release, adjustment, or reset based on this page. The provider and facility need to coordinate the work area under the established site process. A door that normally stays closed is not a reason to assume its inspection needs disappear.
What happens if the door fails, or after a repair?
A failed test needs a documented finding and a clear corrective scope. Repair and return to use should follow the assembly's instructions and applicable requirements, with the responsible authority involved where needed. A normal open-and-close cycle alone does not establish that the fire-closing function has been restored.
DASMA's TDS 2502, dated June 2024, calls for drop testing after repair or field modification and describes two consecutive successful tests: one for proper closing and one to verify correct reset. This is the specific scope of the association's guidance, not a claim that this page has determined the applicable NFPA edition for your building. Ask the specialist and issuing authority to confirm the actual requirements. DASMA TDS 2502
Ask for the failed item, proposed parts, any repair limits, required retesting, and records. Do not authorize an improvised component or modification merely because the door will move afterward. Alarm-side work, building damage, or an altered rated opening may need another provider or approval.
Keep people clear and follow the facility's existing process for taking affected equipment out of use without approaching or manipulating unsafe equipment. Do not prop open a fire door or choose a workaround from a phone description.
Describe the failed test or damage and ask what specialist assessment is needed.
Which fire code applies in Tulsa?
Oklahoma's amended 2024 International Fire Code and International Building Code took effect September 14, 2026 as statewide minimums. Tulsa's Plans Review page still lists older commercial code editions, so its web list does not settle the current project requirements. The provider and issuing office confirm applicable rules, local amendments, and any transition provisions. Final IFC rule, final IBC rule, OUBCC FAQ, Tulsa Plans Review
NFPA 80 is relevant to fire-door assemblies, but the applicable edition and exact duties need to be confirmed for the building and work. Ask the responsible fire or building authority and the qualified specialist which provisions govern the inspection, repair, modification, and records. This page does not declare an exemption or a pass condition for a particular door.
If the closing system connects to an alarm, ask how the door specialist coordinates with the alarm provider. If new supply wiring or other electrical work is needed, identify who performs it and verify applicable credentials through the CIB lookup. A door test proposal should not silently assume authority to alter the building alarm system.
Names you might see on the door
Cornell and Cookson publish rolling fire-door products, Raynor lists fire doors and operators, and Wayne Dalton's FireStar product information identifies rated rolling assemblies. A manufacturer and model from existing records help define the correct specialist scope. CornellCookson; Raynor fire-door families; Wayne Dalton FireStar
The label and assembly records matter more than a familiar brand name. These references do not imply authorized-dealer status, universal parts support, or credentials for the company receiving the request. Ask about the actual model and the documentation the provider can supply.
What we cover—and what we don't
This page covers commercial rolling fire doors and counter fire doors, including assessment of their curtains, guides, release devices, closing controls, and related repair or test work accepted by the provider. It excludes swinging fire doors, sprinkler work, fire-alarm panel work, and building fire-system design.
This service-request page covers equipment at commercial buildings. It does not cover house garages, boat or marine docks, barge or rail equipment, truck or trailer body repairs, pedestrian storefront or automatic entry doors, walk-through glass or hollow-metal doors, locks and closers, parts-only orders, or concrete pit and structural slab work.
For ordinary curtain and drive context, see the national rolling-steel door guide. The fire-rated assembly still requires its own scope.

How the call works
The facility address and what stopped working are enough to start. You do not have to choose a repair before calling.
- Describe the facility location and what stopped working.
- The request may be shared with an independent commercial dock-and-door repair company.
- That company confirms whether it can take the work, the next step, and its terms before you authorize anything.
The independent company confirms whether it can handle the equipment at your facility and its earliest availability. You can ask about the visit charge and whether repair authorization is separate from the first assessment.
Example wording: “A rolling fire door failed its inspection at our plant in Tulsa, and I can give you the address and the report if needed.”
You can call without a model number, measurements, photos, or a diagnosis. If you already know the bay number, equipment name, access restrictions, or who approves work, share that too. Do not approach damaged equipment to collect details.
If you reach voicemail, leave the facility address, the door or dock number if known, what's wrong, and a callback number.
Start with the address and the problem you can describe.
What helps on the call? Optional details only
The facility address, door location, and reason for the request are enough. A previous test report, date, manufacturer, or release-system description can help if already available. You can call without approaching the label, identifying the release device, or finding every record first.
For several rated openings, an existing door list can help the provider define the proposal. Tell the company about known access rules and any facility contact who coordinates fire-system work. Do not test, release, or reset a door to prepare for the call.
What affects the price of rolling fire door work?
We can't quote your exact repair from a web page. The price depends on the equipment, the fault, parts, and access. Here's what to ask before you authorize work.
| Cost item | What to clarify |
|---|---|
| Inspection and test | Exact doors, required scope, and whether records are included |
| Access | Height, blocked work area, and equipment arrangements |
| Release-system coordination | Door-side work versus separate alarm-side work |
| Failed inspection or test | Assessment charge and approval needed before repairs |
| Components | Suitable parts and any restrictions on repair or alteration |
| Retesting and reset | Whether the required repeat work is included after repair |
| Documentation | Door-by-door results, corrective work, and unresolved findings |
DASMA notes that a component can fail during testing and that repairs may not be included in the test cost. Ask about that before authorizing the visit. A quoted test price and a final repair quote are different scopes; neither should be confused with a promise that the assembly will pass. DASMA TDS 271
Ask the company to separate testing, repairs, retesting, and records in its proposal.
Planning annual testing
A planned list of rated openings helps keep the inspection and test scope complete. Ask the specialist to recommend an interval consistent with the assembly instructions and applicable requirements, using DASMA's annual-or-more-frequent guidance as a discussion point. A visit should produce records for the doors actually assessed.
Keep prior reports, repairs, and outstanding findings together by door. Coordinate access and any alarm-related work in advance through the responsible facility contacts. Commercial door maintenance planning can cover other doors at the same site, but it does not replace the fire-door scope.
Where facilities can call from
Tulsa-area facilities in Broken Arrow, Catoosa, Claremore, Owasso, Sand Springs, Sapulpa, Jenks, Bixby, Glenpool, Coweta, and the surrounding counties can call with an address. The company confirms specialist support, scope, and availability. The full area guide and local rulebook identify the local office questions.
Common questions about rolling fire doors in Tulsa
Is a door that opens and closes normally ready to pass a drop test?
Normal operation does not establish the automatic fire-closing function. A specialist inspection and controlled test assess different parts of the assembly and need the appropriate records.
Can a damaged fire door stay in normal service while parts are ordered?
Do not decide that from a general repair page. Have the specialist and responsible authority establish the permissible condition and any interim arrangements for the actual opening. DASMA's repair guidance addresses keeping damaged assemblies out of ordinary service pending proper repair and testing.
Does the inspection price include repairs?
Not automatically. Ask for test scope, repair authorization, retesting, and documentation to be stated separately before the visit.
Is a fire-rated counter shutter included?
It can be within this equipment family, subject to provider confirmation of the model and scope. A non-rated counter shutter belongs with ordinary rolling-door work.
Will a maintenance invoice serve as the test record?
Only if it actually includes the required door-specific inspection and test information. Ask what written record the specialist will provide and what the responsible authority needs.
Get the fire-door work clearly scoped
The first call can start with the location and a failed report or inspection request. The specialist and responsible authority determine the work and records the assembly needs.
Describe the rolling fire door and ask the company to confirm inspection, repair, and test scope.
