Default Fire foor auto closure device

How would you report on a home that was built in 1966 pertaining to a missing auto closure at the fire door entry from the garage to the house.

Would you report as a safety issue?

Not required when built but is now required?

Not mention it in your report?

Thanks

Casketed. You mean if they dont install an auto closure they will need to make arrangements with the undertaker for a casket?

Excuse my ingnorance. I have not heard the term casketed.

Any how it needs a gasket on the door.
