The Important Role of Fire Door Hardware
Allegion UK, a leading name in fi re safety hardware with a trusted reputation for keeping people safe where they live, learn, work and connect, discusses the importance of selecting the correct fi re-door hardware for your building’s users...
Supplier of the Zero Z304 CE fi re door coordinator and the Boss cam-action door closers, Allegion UK off ers a complete fi re door set solution through its renowned family of brands. Backed by a worldwide team of door hardware experts, Allegion UK proudly off ers industry-leading names such as Brio, Briton, CISA, Boss Door Controls and Zero. Russell Marks, Boss Door Controls
product specialist, commented: “In most environments, fi re doors should have a closer fi tted to ensure the door remains closed and fulfi l fi re door regulations. In settings where users may be less able to escape in a fi re, such as schools, hospitals, and residential homes, cam action door closers are often the preferred choice. This type of closer has a more linear closing force with reduced door opening resistance, enhancing safety and accessibility and is ideal for buildings with users who might struggle to open a fi re door with a closer fi tted.” In addition to door closers,
any double fi re doors should be fi tted with a door coordinator to ensure they close correctly and
maintain an eff ective fi re barrier. Iain Banks, product marketing manager, commented: “Double fi re doors can run the dangerous risk of closing incorrectly and being rendered useless if not fi tted with an appropriate fi re door coordinator. “A correctly fi tted fi re door
coordinator will ensure your double
fi re doors always close in the correct sequence, regardless of which door is opened fi rst and that they remain closed and maintain an eff ective barricade against fi re and smoke. Fitted to the head of your pair of fi re doors, a fi re door coordinator makes sure the inactive leaf closes before the active leaf, guaranteeing your double fi re doors remain eff ective.”
