» ARRONE AND FALCON Timber have announced a successful joint fire test that has made it easier for installers to source a full package of compliant hardware for commercial fire doors .
Architectural ironmongery manufacturer ARRONE and Falcon Timber , formerly known as Falcon Panel Products , have tested a range of door hardware with Falcon ’ s Strebord 44 FD30 to provide installers with a complete set of fire door products that can be purchased off the shelf .
The combination of the products can offer a complete solution for fire door requirements in commercial buildings by providing products to suit a range of
|
common door applications . The combination of products will provide solutions for doors needed to be non-locking , latch / locking , deadlocking , as well as any riser / storage rooms or bathroom doors .
The mix of products tested include AR8182 ball bearing hinges , AR1500 size 2-4 door closer , intumescent and fire door signage , with choice of lever handle and pull handles escutcheons , locks and latches depending on where the door will be fitted . Thumb turns and push plates are also covered on the evidence
Ged Ryan , CEO of HOPPE ( UK ), said :
“ Choosing products for fire doors can be complex . Installers often have to navigate several
|
test sheets , symbols and quality marks to know which hardware is suitable for use on fire doors , and even this is dependent on the type of building the fire door is fitted in .
“ When it comes to fire doors , there is no room for error : they are a life-saving feature . We ’ ve worked with Falcon Timber to help make the specification of fire doors and associated hardware as simple as possible . We can provide further support to installers and help them
|
to give their customers confidence in the performance of their new fire doors .”
The products have been included on a EN 1634- 1:2014 + A1:2018 fire test specifically for use as a door assembly system with Strebord 44 fire doors .
