Overview
Counter fire rated doors are installed in places where fires are likely to occur. In fact, they are required by code for fire, fire barrier and smoke barrier walls. Rolling Counter Fire Doors are commonly installed in lunch rooms and concession stands. In these types of applications, you want counter fire doors that can compartmentalize the fire as well as prevent fire and smoke spread as quickly and effectively as possible. Cookson's Counter Fire Rated Doors are up to the task.
This Fire Rated Door is UL labeled for up to 3 hours, and is custom built to exact opening specifications using compact guides, slats, brackets and hoods for a smooth profile.
The maximum limits listed in our UL procedure are for counter fire doors up to 16’-0” wide, 10’-0” high with a 120 sq ft maximum. If the counter shutter is over 12’ wide the limit is 7’6” high.
For openings that fall outside of the standard construction, please contact us.
Cookson Model Numbers for Fire Rated Doors include ERC10 and ERC20.

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.
