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.
