Why Fire Exit Door Compliance Matters
In commercial settings or buildings, having a fire exit door means that the lock must not only be fire-rated but also comply with the regulated building codes for fire exit doors. At Terry’s Locksmiths, we supply and install the right locks to ensure that your fire exit door will pass inspection with flying colors.
Types of Locks for Fire Exit Doors
Several different locks can be fitted to a fire door, each with strict guidelines for function and placement. Some popular options include:
- Self-Latching Mortise Locks with Lever Furniture: Commonly used as fire exit door locks for units across the Gold Coast, providing reliable performance and compliance.
- Lockwood 002-L Metal Frame Lock: This deadlock can be added to doors with existing commercial entrance locks but requires professional assessment to ensure proper installation.
It’s crucial that any lock installation be carried out by a professional, as incorrect installation can result in the need for a new door or costly repairs.
Special Considerations for Fire Exit Door Installation
When dealing with fire doors, special precautions must be taken, especially if asbestos is present. Even touching the lock on an asbestos door must be handled according to strict guidelines. Additionally, replacing an existing deadlock with an appropriate fire exit door lock often requires consultation with an expert, as the door may need to be patched, plated by a certified fire door company, or replaced entirely.
Proper installation is essential, as fire doors must meet strict standards to pass inspection and ensure safety. Failure to comply can result in the door being rejected during inspection.
