YALE PLEDGES SUPPORT FOR FIRE DOOR SAFETY WEEK
Yale , part of the ASSA ABLOY Group , is supporting Fire Door Safety Week for the eighth year running , demonstrating the company ’ s ongoing commitment to fire door safety .
Taking place from 23rd-27th September , the campaign highlights issues such as inadequate installation and maintenance , seeking to inform specifiers , building owners , and the public about fire door safety and improve standards across the UK .
Yale has long been a champion of safer fire doors . It offers a full suite of products that achieve either FD30 or FD60 when tested on a door with the correct intumescent seals .
These include the company ’ s Lockmaster AutoEngage multi-point locking system ( FD60 ), which delivers high-performance security while complementing contemporary and heritage door styles , and Lockmaster 21 ( FD30 ), the latest addition to what is Britain ’ s best-selling range of multipoint door locking systems .
In addition , the Yale Postmaster Professional TS008 Letterplate is available in both FD30 and FD60 options , while the Yale Platinum 3 Star Cylinder meets FD60 when tested on a fire door .
ASSA ABLOY also offers various products that meet fire door safety standards as part of a complete door set . These include door viewers , UNION door closers , and intumescent foam from Lorient – all of which are available through ASSA ABLOY , making it the go-to company for all fire door requirements .
Brett Evans , Technical Director for Door Hardware at Yale DWS , comments : “ I ’ m thrilled that Yale is once again supporting Fire Door Safety Week . As well as providing first-class security , our Yale and ASSA ABLOY hardware plays a vital role in ensuring fire doors work effectively , acting as the first line of defense to provide vital minutes for building occupants to evacuate safely .
