Fire Rated Service Doors

R&S Fire Doors combine the durability, security, efficiency and space saving advantages of a rolling service door with the added life and property saving benefits of automatic fire protection. Underwriters Laboratories, Warnock Hersey and Factory Mutual up to 3-Hour/Class 'A' Label or Oversize Certificate of Compliance is furnished standard.

Refer to the Listing Summary below for conditions affecting approvals by various testing agencies. Acceptance of the listing for variations in wall construction should be verified with the building authority having jurisdiction.

Fire Door Release Mechanism Detail

Fire Doors are designed to close automatically from a fully open position - activation of the door in the down position may cause damage. Fire Doors are not designed for use in high cycle applications - a secondary non rated door is recommended in those situations.
