GFCI multiple failures

[Streamline Power]

Hi All,
I have recently taken over the maintenance of a local salon. The business consists of 40 suites for hair dressers to rent. Each suite has about 3 gfis in them. In the last 3 months I have replaced 5 different gfis because they no longer would reset. I have only had a couple failures in my career, I have to believe there is something else going on here. The concierge has explained the gfis throughout trip and get reset often....the build out is about 6 years old. Thanks in advance!

My guess is you need 20 amp gfci's and if their equipment is faulty - hence the tripping- then that is their issue....
