Fire Door Safety

Fire doors are critical to the protection of people and property across the built environment. A key element of your building’s passive fire protection system, when closed they compartmentalise and delay the spread of fire and smoke whilst protecting and providing occupants with an opportunity to escape.

While 3 million fire doors are installed in the UK every year, incorrect specification, poor installation, and lack of maintenance is still a concern.

With reliable fire door hardware and trusted advice, we aim to protect your buildings and those who use them.

Door controls play an essential role in providing fire safety protection. In a fire, they ensure fire doors close to provide an efficient passive barrier to prevent the spread of fire and smoke, saving lives and protecting property.

To be effective, fire doors must close fully and safely each time the door is used. It is essential that the correct type of door control is specified, correctly installed and properly maintained.
