COMMON CHALLENGES OF FIRE DOOR HANDLE

The primary function of fire door handles is to open and close fire doors during a fire incident, and they must strictly comply with EN 1906 standard. As the most frequently contacted component in a fire door system, handle failure can trigger critical issues:
1

Fire Resistance Failure & Evacuation Risks

Some handles for fire doors do not meet the fire resistance standards, which can compromise the integrity of fire resistance, failing to maintain the fire barrier with other door hardware.
Mechanical performance failure under high temperatures significantly increases the risk of evacuation obstruction.
1

Emergency Operation Difficulties

Ergonomic design flaws cause operational difficulties during crises (e.g., grip slippage/excessive force required).
1

Durability Issues & Rising Maintenance Costs

Insufficient durability leads to frequent replacement, increasing maintenance costs.
Surface corrosion and wear degrades both functionality and aesthetics.
14

Compatibility Issues & Installation Risks

Incompatibility with locks/closers leading to load mismatch.
Non-compliant installation/maintenance affect the overall performance of the fire door, increasing safety risks.

FAQs

1. Do door handles need to be fire rated?

Only handles on fireproof doors must be fire resistant (EN 1634-1). Moreover, their fire rating must match that of the door. Regular doors can use standard handles.

2. Do fire doors need special handles?

Yes, fire doors require special fire-rated handles. If the doors are fire rated, the door handle must comply with the appropriate standard, such as EN 1906, EN 1634-1( EU standard). These handles are designed to withstand high temperatures and maintain the door's fire resistance, thereby effectively protect people’s lives and property.

3. What makes a door handle fire rated?

A fire-rated door handle is constructed from materials with high melting point that offer high heat resistance and durability. It must meet specific fire resistance standards, such as EN 1634-1, and be tested to withstand fire for a specified period (e.g., FD30 for 30 minutes or FD60 for 60 minutes). The handle also maintains operability after heat shock, ensuring it can still function effectively in extreme conditions.
