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, intumescent kits and signage. All components within the pack have been third-party performance tested to the relevant British and European standards, fire tested in accordance with BS EN1634-1 and CE / UKCA marked where applicable.
Thus, they are proven to meet stringent requirements for safety, strength, durability, functionality and security.
Specifically designed for both 30 and 60-minute Timber fire-rated doors, the packs are also CERTIFIRE approved where relevant. 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 ensure that their fire doors are properly equipped, and compliant with the latest standards and 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 support and help our customers in achieving compliance. Our fire door packs help make it easier for professionals to meet regulatory standards, while offering quality and assurance.”
As a leading supplier of door hardware, Zoo Hardware offers tailored solutions to meet customers specific project needs, including bespoke fire door packs and multi-finish options such as Black, Brass, and Bronze.
