Joint Commission Compliance for Healthcare Facilities

Stay Compliant. Stay Funded.

Keeping Healthcare Facilities Survey-Ready

When it comes to The Joint Commission, every detail matters—especially your doors. Improperly installed or malfunctioning door hardware can lead to failed inspections, citations, and even loss of state or federal funding. That’s where Nashville Door Closer comes in.


We help healthcare facilities throughout Middle Tennessee meet The Joint Commission’s strict safety and egress standards by ensuring every commercial door is functioning properly, documented, and up to code.

Your Go-To Team for Joint Commission Door Issues

Hospitals, surgical centers, and long-term care facilities face intense regulatory oversight. Doors are a frequent source of Joint Commission deficiencies, often cited for issues like:


  • Doors that don’t self-close or latch properly
  • Fire-rated assemblies missing required labels
  • Improperly installed or incompatible hardware
  • Gaps that exceed maximum clearance guidelines
  • Non-compliant delayed egress or access control systems


Our team understands the specific code language and compliance criteria The Joint Commission looks for during evaluations. Whether you're preparing for an upcoming inspection or responding to a citation, we can help you correct issues quickly—and keep your facility survey-ready at all times.

Case Study: Large Nashville Area Hospital


A large hospital in the Nashville metro area was facing ongoing Joint Commission citations due to misaligned hardware and faulty closers on fire-rated doors. These deficiencies were placing them at risk of funding interruptions and threatening their accreditation status.


Nashville Door Closer stepped in to assess the facility’s most critical problem areas. Our technicians:


  • Inspected dozens of high-priority doors
  • Replaced closers and exit devices to ensure fire-rated functionality
  • Verified labels and fire-rating compliance on assemblies
  • Adjusted door gaps and replaced missing gasketing
  • Delivered detailed documentation of all repairs and compliance corrections


The facility passed its next inspection without a single door-related citation.
