At All Things Inspector, we are experts at developing materials that help construction crews keep up with fire door compliance.

This means that it will not activate if a loud bang is heard, or any other startling noises. Fire door alarmsFire door alarms are fitted to fire doors to prevent unauthorised entry and exit. These alarms are triggered by the unsanctioned use of a door. Fire door alarms can be used on interior and exterior doors and are used in various industries for differing purposes. Integrated door control systems establish foot traffic flow in one direction.

Fire door holdersAlthough fire doors should ideally be shut at all times, this arrangement is not always practical. A fire door holder – or fire door hold open device – can be fitted to a fire door to keep it open during normal situations. These devices can be directly connected to the fire alarm or be acoustically activated by the sound of the fire alarm. Once the fire alarm is triggered, the fire door holder releases the door for closing. This is the ideal solution for holding a fire door open and is essential for areas where access is a necessity. We can program these devices to have timed releases which will ensure the fire door is then lightweight, easy to handle and swings freely.For Steel Doors Swinging in sets the clearance between the top and the vertical edges of the door, the frame, and the meeting edges shall be 1/8 ″– 1/16 ″. Fire door closersThe purpose of a fire door is to compartmentalise different sections of a building and by doing so contain the spread of fires. An overhead door closer – or fire door closer – is a device that ensures that a fire door closes after being opened. Legally, fire doors should remain shut and the installation of fire door closers enforces this requirement. Keep in mind and note all clearance measurements on the pull side of the door so you can document them for your annual NFPA 80 inspection. We have actually produced the following list for property managers and building owners for keeping their doors within NFPA 80 compliance. The intumescent pillows are especially suitable for computers or clean areas where work is in progress. We often advise that these are used for overnight fire protection.

A fire door should have a gap around its base so that it can swing freely. But if the gap is too large, smoke and fire may be able to escape from an adjoining room into other parts of a building. Fire doors prevent smoke from spreading throughout your building, preventing injuries from smoke inhalation and burns. Occupants inside of your building can remain safe for a minimum of 30 minutes through the use of regulation fire doors based on the fire door gap.
