Nowadays, fire safety is increasingly valued by the general public, but if you have never chosen a suitable fireproof door lock, it will greatly accelerate the spread of fire. This article will explain why fireproof locks are so important from several aspects.
1. What is Fire Door Lock?
Fire door locks differ significantly from traditional mechanical door locks. They meet certain safety standards and certifications, and they play a crucial role in protecting commercial and residential buildings.
Fire locks, made of specialized materials, are often used in conjunction with fire doors in emergencies, providing a longer escape timeline.
2. What is the Main Function of Fire Door Lock?
Fire door locks that meet international safety standards can withstand damage for a long time, ensuring that people can evacuate quickly and safely.
(1) Hinder the Spread of Fire:
When a fire breaks out, a fire lock that meets safety standards can, to a certain extent, block the spread of flames and prevent these harmful smoke fumes from entering other confined spaces.
(2) Extend Escape Time:
Extend the time for emergency evacuation of people and provide maximum protection for property safety.
（3）Types of Locks You Need to Know for Fire Locks
Mortise Lock: With a latch and deadbolt, embedded in the edge of the door, the key drives the internal lever to extend and retract the latch and deadbolt.
Deadbolt Rim Lock: Rim lock with a latch and deadbolt, used to install on the door surface.
Electric Rim Lock: Installed on outdoor doors, safe and waterproof, more advanced and intelligent.
4. How to Choose the Right Lock for Your Fire Door?
(1) Certification: Mortise locks carry the CE mark and fire locks that meet BS EN standards will play the most superior fire protection role.
(2) Compatibility with Fire Doors: Even if you prefer a high-quality lock, if it is not compatible with fire doors, in the face of a crisis, such a fire lock will not be able to play its best role in preventing the spread of fire and smoke.
(3) Fire Locks Have Three Fire Resistance Levels: It is recommended to choose a lock with a longer fire resistance time to provide greater security.
Fire resistance time of more than 30 minutes
Fire resistance time of more than 60 minutes
Fire resistance time of more than 90 minutes
