A fire door drop test verifies that a rolling or sliding fire door closes completely from the fully open position under its own weight. A Kodiak technician releases the door's hold-open mechanism, watches the door descend through the guide rails to the sill, confirms the release device and governor are working, documents the result, and repairs failures when possible.
