Zoo Hardware highlights the importance of compliance this Fire Door Safety Week
This Fire Door Safety Week, Zoo Hardware, one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of door hardware, is reinforcing the importance of fire door compliance and the vital role certified hardware plays in protecting property, and most importantly, lives.
Running from Monday 23rd September to Friday 27th September 2024, the awareness week highlights the critical function of fire doors in safeguarding buildings. With this, in order to help professionals within the architecture and specification industry to always ensure complete fire door compliance, Zoo Hardware offers expertly designed Commercial and Architectural Fire Door Packs.
Zoo Hardware’s Fire Door Packs include all door hardware needed to comply with fire door regulations, including Grade 13 Ball Bearing Hinges, door closers, locks, and signage. All components within the pack are CE-marked, having been third-party tested to BS EN 12209:2016, the European standard for testing mechanically operated locks within doors and fire doors. Thus, they are guaranteed to meet stringent requirements for safety, strength, durability, functionality and security.
Importantly, the packs come with independent certification, offering specifiers peace of mind that all products have been rigorously tested and are suitable for fire-rated door assemblies, ensuring the integrity of the fire door.
Designed for both 30 and 60-minute fire-rated doors, the packs are supplied with all the hardware necessary to meet CERTIFIRE standards. CERTIFIRE is an independent third-party certification that assures the quality, performance, and reliability of fire protection products, ensuring tested items meet rigorous fire safety standards. This allows specifiers to guarantee that their fire door systems are properly equipped, and compliant with the latest regulations.
Jason Tonks, Reg AI Technical Product Certification & Compliance Manager at Zoo Hardware, said: “Architectural ironmongery is a crucial element of any fire door assembly. Ensuring that each component is certified and compatible is vital in maintaining fire door compliance, and helps to both protect property damage, and save lives in the event of a fire.”
“During Fire Door Safety Week and beyond, we want to help the architecture and specification industries to understand that achieving compliance does not have to be complex. Our Fire Door Packs make it easy for professionals to meet regulatory standards, while offering quality and assurance.”
