THE CRUCIAL COMPONENT FOR YOUR DOUBLE FIRE DOORS
Allegion UK , a leading name in fire safety hardware and supplier of the Zero Z304 CE fire door coordinator , highlights the importance of fitting a fire door coordinator to double fire doors to enable them to close in the correct sequence to prevent gaps which could allow fire and smoke to spread .
Fire doors are a key element of a building ’ s fire protection system , and their importance cannot be understated . Well maintained and properly installed fire doors help to keep people safe . By containing fire and toxic smoke within the area where the fire started , fire doors keep escape routes clear , help protect the rest of the building and allow people sufficient time to escape safely . But to be effective , fire doors must remain closed and be closed when the fire breaks out .
Iain Banks , product specialist at Allegion UK , commented : “ All fire doors must be fitted with a door closer to ensure they stay closed . However , double fire doors can run the dangerous risk of closing incorrectly and being rendered useless if not fitted with an appropriate fire door coordinator . A correctly fitted fire door coordinator will ensure your double fire doors always close in the correct sequence , remain closed and maintain an effective barricade against fire and smoke .”
Maintain an effective barrier . Fitted to the head of your pair of fire doors , a fire door coordinator makes sure the inactive leaf closes before the active leaf , guaranteeing your double fire doors remain an effective fire barrier .
Safe & compliant buildings . Featuring a unique surface rebate catch , the Zero Z304 CE fire door coordinator will ensure the correct closing sequence of your double fire doors every time . Suitable for use on timber and steel fire doors , the Z304 is CE & UKCA marked to EN 1158:1997 and assessed to BS EN 1634-1:2014 for complete peace of mind .
