A fire door only works if it closes and latches by itself, without anyone helping it. Ontario Fire Code Division B, Section 2.2.3 requires that doors in fire separations be kept closed or held open only by a device that releases on alarm, that self-closing devices be maintained in operating condition, and that the opening be kept clear of anything that interferes with the door swinging shut. The 2026 amendments tightened routine checks on those doors to a monthly basis. In Mississauga that touches almost every building we attend: condo corridors and stairwells off City Centre, school and office stair doors, service corridors in the airport-corridor business parks, and every garbage room and garage vestibule in Peel.
The faults we find are consistent — a door that stops a few millimetres short and never latches, a dead or leaking closer, a latch bolt that no longer lines up with a strike after the frame moved, a coordinator that lets the inactive leaf close last on a pair, and the wooden wedge that someone has put under the door because it is inconvenient. We correct the closer, the latching and the strike so the door does its actual job, remove the reason it was being propped in the first place, and leave you a plain record of what was found and what was done so it stands up when a Fire Prevention Officer walks the building.

Fire Door Closers & Ontario Fire Code Compliance — your questions
Can we prop the fire door open until it gets fixed?
No. Wedging or chaining a fire door defeats the separation it exists to create, and it is one of the easiest items for an inspector to write up. If the door genuinely needs to stand open for traffic, the compliant answer is a hold-open released by the fire alarm, which we can fit to most rated openings.
Our fire door closes but does not quite latch. Is that a failure?
Treat it as one. A door resting against the strike is an open door as far as smoke is concerned. The requirement is that the closure is kept in operating condition — closing and latching by itself, from any open position, with nobody helping. It usually corrects with latch-speed adjustment, a properly sized closer or a strike repair, not a new door.
Do you leave a record we can put in our fire safety plan file?
Yes. We test every self-closing device we touch, note which doors latched, which were corrected on the spot and which need parts, and hand that back in writing. Managers running several buildings across Peel tell us that list is what an inspector actually wants to see.
How much does fire door closers & ontario fire code compliance cost in Mississauga?
Fire door work is quoted from the door list, not from the size of the building. Most rated openings need testing and adjustment only; a smaller number need a closer, a strike or new hardware. We walk the list, then quote the corrections in writing. The walk-through costs nothing — call (905) 555-0118.
