Russell Marks, Boss Door Controls product specialist, commented:“ In most environments, fire doors should have a closer fitted to ensure the door remains closed and fulfil fire door regulations. In settings where users may be less able to escape in a fire, 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 fire door with a closer fitted.”
In addition to door closers, any double fire doors should be fitted with a door coordinator to ensure they close correctly and maintain an effective fire barrier.
Allegion UK is committed to promoting fire safety by providing high-quality, tested, and certified fire door hardware.
Iain Banks, product marketing manager, commented:“ 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, regardless of which door is opened first and that they remain closed and maintain an effective barricade against fire and smoke. 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 effective.”
