Fire Door Safety Week Focus; Appointments & News LOR132 – introducing the new RJ007 slimline letterplate for FD30 & FD60
Lorient – a leading manufacturer of high-performance sealing systems is delighted to off er a new slimline fi re & security rated letterplate into its door hardware protection range. When letterplates are added to fi re doors; elements of the fi re-resistant door core are removed and replaced with ironmongery which has a higher thermal conductivity. T is can create a weak point in the door, where fi re can take hold and aff ect the integrity of the doorset. T at’s why fi re-rated ironmongery must be used on timber doorsets and be tested to a relevant standard – oſt en accompanied by an intumescent kit. T e new slimline RJ007 letterplate from Lorient combines fi re and security performance with functionality and aesthetics. Designed to meet the exacting security standards of TS008:2015, it is tested to withstand a series of physical tests based on the common methods of burglary. It features an innovative pivoting stay mechanism that reduces the opening to 37° for protection against key ‘fi shing’ and lock manipulation. T e RJ007 can provide up to 30 and 60 minutes fi re resistance and is tested in accordance BS 476-22:1987; and smoke tested in accordance with BS EN 1634-3:2004. It is CERTIFIRE (CF5688) approved from Warringtonfi re Testing & Certifi cation Limited; and is TS008: 2015 accredited and Document Q and PAS 24:2016 compliant.
