NEW HARDWARE KITS TAKE
THE CONFUSION OUT OF
FIRE DOOR SPECIFICATION
A new complete range of fire door kits are available for
installers looking to fit fire doors in commercial buildings, but
are unsure about which door hardware they should use.
» FIRE DOORS ARE A LIFE-SAVING
feature, engineered to hold back flames and
smoke allowing evacuation and access routes
to remain clear for fire and rescue services,
and helping to protect people and property.
It is imperative that all fire door installations
comply with fire safety regulations to ensure
they perform as stated in the event of a fire.
HOPPE (UK) has worked to create a fully
compliant fire door solution for non-specialist
installers. Installers will be able to simply
choose from a selection of doors, find the
corresponding architectural ironmongery kit,
and then they will have everything they need
for a fully compliant fire door.
There are five fire door hardware kits
designed to meet the needs of commercial
buildings. Available to buy off the shelf from
builders’ merchants, installers can purchase
kits for use on corridor doors (both locking
and non-locking), bathroom doors, office
doors and deadlocking doors.

Ged Ryan, CEO of HOPPE (UK), said:
“We know that choosing products for fire
doors can be very confusing. With various test
sheets, symbols and quality marks it is difficult
to know which products work together, or
where they can and can’t be used. Our aim
is to make the process as quick and easy as
possible, so that installers can get on with the
job with complete confidence that the fire
door assembly is compliant.”
As standard, the kit contains a sash lock; a
lever handle on a sprung rose; a pull handle; a
euro profile cylinder with turn; stainless steel
hinges; escutcheons; cylinder pull; disabled
bathroom turn and release; fire door keep
locked or keep shut sign; overhead door closer;
single cylinder and two intumescent packs,
but some kits may contain additional items
depending on where the door will be fitted.
The fire door kit has been tested specifically
for use on fire doors to both European
and British standards, and is third-party
certificated by Certifire, so installers can be
confident that the fire door will perform as
stated on the box.
