Commercial Fire Doors

Only in the event of an actual fire or emergency situation do most people fully appreciate fire-rated doors. Business owners, on the other hand, have a better understanding of the importance of fire doors. In the event of an actual fire, these doors can serve an important role in keeping flames and smoke from spreading to different parts of the building. They can also serve as a means of easy escape in case of an emergency.

Fire-rated doors specially made to withstand the extreme heat of fires. These hollow metal doors and frames must have a closing device and latch. Fire doors are often equipped with panic hardware and fail-safe or fail-secure emergency exit locks. 

Fire doors are required on many commercial buildings in order to protect occupants, block the spread of flames and smoke, and minimize the overall property damage. Because they close automatically when a fire is detected in the building, these doors are a key component of a building’s passive fire protection system. Interior fire doors help block or delay the spread of heat, smoke and flames through hallways, stairwells and between sections of the building. They are also installed in corridors passing through fire barrier walls. Exterior fire protection doors are heat resistant and allow quick egress from the building in case of an emergency.

Selected most often for practical drop test compliance and assuring positive crisis response, C.H.I. Guardian™ Fire Doors deliver reliable, predictable, and repeatable results.

How to Fix a Slow-Opening Garage Door

            Garage doors do a lot of heavy lifting on a day-to-day basis, which means that they will eventually need maintenance and repairs to stay working. How will you know when your garage door needs service? One of the telltale signs is that it takes longer to open and close. Let's have a look at some of the reasons a garage door would be slow and how to fix a slow garage door.      Normally, a garage door should take anywhere from 12-15 seconds to open and close.
