Commercial Fire Rated Doors & Shutters
Fire Doors Overview
Doors with a fire resistance rating used to reduce the speed of fire or smoke between areas to allow safe egress. Fire doors are an integral part of a fire safety plan. They are typically used in any commercial space where fire may spread, such as counter spaces, service doors, and in parking garages.

What are Door Fire Ratings?
When a door is commercial fire rated, it means that when it is properly installed, the door will not combust during a certain time frame in the average fire. Standard commercial fire rated doors range from 20 to 90 minutes. While doors are rated for specific amounts of time, the rating does not necessarily indicate that the door would hold up for that exact amount of time during a fire. It simply means that door was tested as a brand new door and held up for that amount of time. There are many other factors in play during real world applications, such as heat intensity, that could reduce the amount of time significantly.
Features
Some features of these doors and fire shutters include optional integral frame and sill units, galvanized steel or stainless steel, and the ability to perform drop testing.

Certifications
Barron Equipment has a full team of service technicians that are NFPA 80 certified, which is the installation, testing, modifying or repairing of opening protectives, including fire rated rolling doors.
The three key elements of NFPA 80 certification for fire-rated doors, in relation to the annual drop test requirements are:
1. Inspection – a visual check for damage, visibility of labels, painted or coated cables, and any conditions that could affect the door’s operation.
2. Operation – The industrial fire door must be tested to ensure it’s operating smoothly, balanced properly, can close fully without obstruction, and has all missing or damaged parts repaired before proceeding with the drop test.
3. Drop Test/Reset – The drop test for fire doors is to ensure the door will close automatically in the case of a fire emergency. The drop test should be performed twice and the doors need to be reset completely between tests. The doors need to close at a speed between 6 and 24 inches per second.
These three steps must performed by a qualified and certified technician. Barron Equipment is committed to keeping our installation and service technicians up-to-date on NFPA 80 certifications so that we can provide fire door drop testing to customers in the Midwest Area.
