Compartmentalize Fire and Smoke With a Fire-Resistant Security Door
Security doors come in many guises, including those that offer resistance to fires. A rolling fire door helps save lives by compartmentalizing the fire quickly so occupants have time to exit quickly. Plus, the compartmentalization can limit the spread of fire and smoke so that property can be saved. While a rolling service door is designed merely to separate environments, a rolling fire door has the task of closing the opening in fire walls, smoke barrier walls and fire barriers, so that the building can be compartmentalized. A rolling fire door should self-close when activated by thermal or electrical devices, and seal the opening before the smoke can migrate.
