Of course, the primary purpose of a self-closing fire door is to automatically shut in order to contain the spread of fire and restrict the spread of smoke, and to keep a building's occupants safe.

Doors can fail prematurely in a fire. If the components are not suitable and not installed correctly this could cause the door assembly to fail to meet the fire and smoke resistance requirements.
