fitted with automatic closure devices
I'm not too sure of the most elegant way to word it in EN, but I am pretty confident this is the correct meaning of the source text.
It is normal for fire doors to be fitted with devices (of various types) to make them close automatically — except for actual room doors, where this sort of thing might cause too much inconvenience!

This is a quite common technical use of the verb 'solliciter', not easy to find in ordinary dicos etc.

I think 'closer' is one technical term for 'closure device', though I'm not sure if it is general enough for this context.

'solliciter' here is in the sense of 'to stress', or more generally 'to apply a force to' — i.e. 'a closing force is applied to...'

All the fire proof doors must be (firmly) closed with the exception of the access doors to the rooms.

Tony M
: If this is in a set of renovation specifications, it would hardly make sense to specify that 'all doors must be closed', would it?
