Who we are
John M. Foti, DHT, QFDI - Owner, Inspector, Consultant
With over 10 years of experience in commercial construction and 1 year specializing in fire door inspections, I bring a deep understanding of building safety, compliance, and quality craftsmanship. My background in commercial construction has provided me with extensive knowledge of structural integrity, project management, and industry regulations. Transitioning into fire door inspections, I have developed expertise in fire-rated door compliance, NFPA standards, and barrier management systems, ensuring buildings meet the highest safety requirements.
Passionate about fire and life safety, I am committed to helping businesses maintain code-compliant, fully functional fire doors that protect lives and property. Whether you need fire door inspections, repairs, or compliance consulting, I provide detail-oriented assessments and expert guidance to keep your facility safe and up to standard.
Because Every Door Protects a Life
Our Pledge to Protect What Matters Most
Our Pledge
At Foti Fire Door Inspections, we believe fire and life safety isn’t just a code requirement — it’s a promise to protect people. Every inspection we perform, every door we test, and every report we issue comes down to one goal: making sure that when an emergency happens, the doors meant to save lives actually do.
We don’t just check boxes or point out problems. We work side-by-side with property managers, engineers, and building owners to help them understand what’s needed and why it matters. Because the truth is, compliance is only part of the picture — safety depends on people who care enough to do things the right way.
Our team is certified through DOIT and DHI as Qualified Fire Door Inspectors (QFDI) and Door & Hardware Technicians (DHT). Those credentials matter, but what really sets us apart is our pride in doing work that makes a difference. Whether we’re inspecting a hospital, a school, or a multifamily community, we see the people behind every door — patients, students, families, and employees who deserve to be safe.
We’re committed to raising awareness, educating building owners, and helping facilities stay ahead of risk — not just after a citation, but long before. And we’ll keep doing it, one inspection, one partnership, and one safer building at a time.
Because at the end of the day, our pledge is simple:
To protect what matters most — people.
